INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT MODELS, EXAMPLES OF THREE COMPANIES

Abstract

In today's volatile environment, organizations have to address three new trends: they must be able to respond quickly to technological changes and increased information flows, they face the growth of knowledge work, and call for personal meaning. Some organizations try to achieve this with innovative management models. The management model is the way how managers execute their work in an organization. The paper focuses on three different innovative management models (W. L. Gore & Associates, Zappos, and Spotify). The paper introduces them, discusses their similarities, and explores whether organizations use their models successfully or no.
