Abstract
The equilibrium in organizations is being upset by new conditions imposed by a stunning rate of technological change. Relying on existing management practices in light of these new conditions will produce inappropriate results. Managers must assimilate a new set of core beliefs and assumptions and reverse a dozen common rules and aphorisms about management behavior.This article is based on the author's keynote address at CAUSE92 in Dallas, Texas, December 3, 1992. The address included a multimedia presentation that could not be incorporated into this print version. However, a videotape of the presentation including the multimedia effects is now available from the CAUSE Exchange Library.
