The point you have mad...Thank you for the comment. <br />The point you have made about the switch from manufacturing units to more knowledge-based services is very interesting. This shows the shift that has happened and is happening from a manufacturing/industrial era to a more concept age very clearly. <br />I do agree that the designation of manager is a very political/org specific one and power structure will perhaps not go away. The basis will change. <br />This is what Daniel Pink says in A Whole New Mind...<br />I can see some of this happening in the organization where I work. Creative problem solving abilities are not only being rewarded but also becoming a necessity. Thus, people with such abilities are gradually taking the front seat. <br />I look forward to your inputs. I always find them stimulating and insightful.Sahana Chattopadhyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533308240409984953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219053459653631458.post-37745210204296655212010-12-31T20:26:03.201+05:302010-12-31T20:26:03.201+05:30My current research supports your list with the ex...My current research supports your list with the exception of the managers being replaced by leaders, coaches, and facilitators. The designation of manager is political within an organization's power structure. This power structure is something that will not go away (although those in power or the basis of power may change; ie those who are network hubs or who hold creative problem solving abilities may become more important rather than those with "expertise" or political organizational knowledge. Also the switch from manufacturing units having power to those whose function are knowledge based such as customer service or logistics).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.com
