3.0 out of 5 stars Good text for back ground on restructuring, January 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Breakdown of Hierarchy: Communicating in the Evolving Workplace (Butterworth-Heinemann Business Books... for Transforming Business) (Paperback)
The authors explained many commonly used assumptions in the organizational restructuring process. The book was easy to read and can provide a good companion to any book on corporate structure.
