- catalog abstract ""Michael Milgate's research shows that corporations' efforts of make themselves lean, to focus on core competencies, and to create mutually advantageous alliances with other corporations have not paid off. The lean organization is clearly the paradigm for businesses at the start of the new millennium, but how is it achieved? He offers practical advice and illustrates it with real world case studies, chosen for their ability to demonstrate best practices in lean organizations and to provide answers to questions that inevitably, repeatedly arise. Too many alliances and outsourcing strategies are formed for the wrong reasons, improperly thought out, and - as quick solutions to difficult problems - they just don't work. Milgate gives us strategic guidance on the critical issues that corporate decision makers must address as they strive to make their organizations as competitive as they must be in order to compete in the new global economy."--Jacket.".
