They Did It Their Way

Synopsis: Surveys three examples of creative management - Dutton Engineering (Woodside) Ltd, a small and innovative engineering company; US IT multinational Digital; and Oticon, a Danish hearing-aid manufacturer - and asks if these new and innovative forms of organising collective endeavour are more relevant today. Commenting on the changing nature of organisational structure are Charles Handy and Rosbeth Moss Kanter, who argue that it is not only organisational structure that is changing but management practices and the nature of work itself.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
