| Abstract: | A "flexible firm" is one which orients itself towards customers, new technology, lateral organisational arrangements and innovation. It is the "new organisation" where the customers and empowered employees -- rather than organisational bureaucracy and capital markets -- are said to govern the firm. BusinessPrint is a firm committed to flexibility. However, what flexibility is, how it is achieved and what its effect is on the firm's profitability are difficult to resolve as flexibility may conflict with personality. |
