Your organization - what is it for?: challenging traditional organizational aims - 5

This volume, first published in 1993, challenges the accepted and practised methods organisations use to set standards of performance and quantify their achievements.

Using in-depth case studies, John Argenti compares the performance of companies with that of non-profit making organizasions to reveal remarkable insights into corporate culture.

He notes how companies meticulously evaluate their performance, yet behave poorly in society while, in stark contrast, these actions are reversed in non-profit making organisations.
