Business Management Case Studies

The summaries discuss the changing nature of management over time. Specifically, they discuss: 1) How management structures are transitioning from traditional hierarchical models to more flexible post-hierarchical models due to technological changes. 2) How the division of labor era and industrial era made it difficult to allocate white-collar work, leading to a "Second Machine Age" that does not lend itself to traditional management structures. 3) Why goals focused solely on being SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound) undervalue ambition and performance, and how some companies instead use goals focused on being FAST (focused, audacious, specific, and time-bound) to drive strategy and organization
