This book provides an entirely new model for organizations to structure themselves to deliver successful products or services to their customers. It eliminates the prevailing hierarchical organization of command and control and replaces it with a horizontal organization that manages the basic core processes that create and deliver products or services. The form has been used in a wide variety of organizations with considerable measurable success.

Reviews
..provides managers with the first all-inclusive and tested alternative to the vertical organisation. * Business Age. February 1999. *
The Horizontal Organisation is a really good read for everyone in the business. If youare not already following these principles, maybe you should be. If you already are, a reminder as to why can be most refreshing. * Business Money. March 1999. *
The value of this book is that it consolidates much of contemporary thinking on corporate structure and the case studies included are genuinely instructive. - Kay Reynolds. - Accounting and Business. May 1999.
