Research on organization design is central to the field of management, and closely allied to the sub-field of strategic management. This book synthesizes a decade of research by the author into the fundamental issues in organization design, and presents it in the form of a new perspective (known as the micro- structural perspective).
The book challenges the assumption that innovation is solely a strength of developed nations, particularly in the context of outsourcing to India. It questions why India has not produced its own iconic innovations like iPhones or Googles, prompting a deeper exploration of the dynamics between developed and developing economies. By examining this perspective, the author invites readers to reconsider the nature of innovation and the competitive landscape in a globalized world.
