The structure, composition, and qualifications of top management will become the focus of attention. While completing its own restructuring, top management must also continuously focus on environmental turbulence, the formation of the global economy, the emergence of employee societies, and the role of the enterprise in political processes, political concepts, and social policies.
Middle management will have to learn to collaborate with those they cannot directly control, work across borders, establish, maintain, and operate organizational systems, and take on more work traditionally associated with top management.
First-line supervisors must become true leaders, becoming "assistants," "supporters," and "mentors."
