Autonomous work groups

Abstract

Addresses the issue of introducing a system of group working into organizations. Examines the areas where changes are necessary to facilitate group working. Argues that changes should be made to the notion of group working, the context of organizational mission and statements, management structures, organizational culture, and communication and coordination. Suggests that changes be worked out on a participative basis for real benefits to accrue.
