Every time I read Traders Guns and money there are new things to explore.
The management of the firms is a succession of fads during trouble times, just like the recent and ongoing crisis. The Fads become a mixture of homely common Rusk package as science and in comprehensible.
| Diversification | Lets do several things that we don’t know anything about badly |
| Sticking to the knitting or focus | Lets get back to doing what we once did if any body can remember what it is and how to do it J |
| Decentralization | Massive duplication, confusion and creation of thousand of petty empires |
| Matrix structure | Every body reports to every body, no body knows who they work for & there is no accountability |
| Flat Organization | Managers who can not manage now manage tens of direct reports. |
| Business Process reorganization | A process by which cut everything that is essential, leaving only every thing that you don’t need. |
Not to forget lot of buzz words like CRM/KPI/TQM/B2B/B2C/Transformation/best of breed/competitive advantage/reinvention/templates.
