Pascale suggests that to avoid stagnation and to be renewed, an organization should operate on the principles of fit, split, contend, and transcend. Fit deals with an organization's internal consistency; split is a technique for breaking a bigger organization into smaller units; contend is a management process that harnesses the contradictions that are inevitable in organizations; and transcend is the complexity that is necessary to successfully manage the renewal process. This is a complex concept that is intentionally different from One Minute Manager -type books. Pascale shows how this has worked in many companies including Honda, Ford, IBM, etc. Recommended for all business collections. --Michael D. Kathman, St. John's Univ., Collegeville, Minn.
