Ideas
Managing without managers. His account of Semco, a Brazilian manufacturer of 800 employees where most set their own working hours, all can see the company's books, most vote on many important decisions, and more than 150 managers set their own salaries and bonuses. Caveat: A chief executive's own account of his company, a practitioner report. Only its opening was read.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
