Abstract

Today's business world is one in which "change itself has changed," becoming more rapid, pervasive, and ongoing. For most firms, this requires a fundamental re-invention of management, as the typical corporate bureaucracy cannot respond well to rapid changes. This chapter outlines the shortcomings of old-style management and reviews the multiple forces of change that prevail today: technological change, demographic and social change, globalization, and energy and environmental factors. These in turn point to a need for "dynamic capabilities" (per David Teece): the ability to sense and seize new opportunities while reshaping the enterprise accordingly. The chapter closes with some characteristics that a new management model should have, including a people-centric innovation culture, flexible and ambidextrous structures, and active engagement with the firm's larger ecosystem.
