Abstract: | Bureaucracy, in its most advanced form, was designed to hold personal discretion and political manipulations in check. In reorganizing around teams, firms have eliminated the struc- tures and rules which kept arbitrariness at bay. My research shows that finding new approaches to dealing with arbitrari- ness is critical to helping the team organization reach its vast potential. Successful postbureaucratic managers have rebuilt their organizations upon objectivity as a central value. By stressing respect for team autonomy, making deci- sion processes public, and encouraging challenge and games- manship at all levels, these managers have created novel, non-bureaucratic ways of adressing arbitrariness. |
