Features: The author of this book provides an exciting anding description of people's work and life, as well as the organizational forms of businesses in tomorrow's society. He points out that this is a world in transition, an era of new discoveries, new insights, and new freedoms. We must respond to change in a completely new, even irrational way to avoid the fate of the "frog in hot water," which succumbs to death due to a lack of reaction to gradually rising water temperature. This book is about work and personal life, not about politics, war, and nations, but the insights are the same, and the changes are equally dramatic. When the book went to press, the world was worried about a recession, partly because our organizations had become too expensive, too complex, and cumbersome. Like the centrally planned economies of the former communist world, these centrally planned organizations are now discovering (too late) that the old ways that once worked well are no longer cost-effective.
