false 138298 1 In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing  Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a  near bankrupt division of International Harvester.  That's when a green young manager, Jack Stack,  took over and turned it around. He didn't know how to  "manage" a company, but he did know about the  principal, of athletic competition and democracy:  keeping score, having fun, playing fair, providing  choice, and having a voice. With these principals  he created his own style of management --  open-book management. The key is to let everyone in on  financial decisions. At SRC, everyone learns how to  read a P&L -- even those without a high school  education know how much the toilet paper they use  cuts into profits. SRC people have a piece of the  action and a vote in company matters. Imagine  having a vote on your bonus and on what businesses the  company should be in. SRC restored the dignity of  economic freedom to its people. Stack's  "open-book management" is the key -- a system  which, as he describes it here, is literally  a <i>game</i>, and one so simple anyone can use  it. As part of the Currency paperback line, the  book includes a "User's Guide" -- an  introduction and discussion guide created for the  paperback by the author -- to help readers make  practical use of the book's ideas. Jack Stack is the  president and CEO of the Springfield Remanufacturing  Corporation, in Springfield, Missouri. The recipient  of the 1993 Business Enterprise Trust Award, Jack  speaks throughout the country on <i>The  Great Game Of Business</i> and <i>Open  Book Management</i>. 133306 15 1 1994 The Great Game of Business total:22|5:8|4:8|3:4|2:2| 22 88 56 10 2 0 false false Sat Oct 18 22:52:02 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 22:52:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 20:53:54 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 20:56:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 20 23:12:27 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 20 23:16:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Dec 03 09:21:36 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 09:23:16 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 15 19:06:49 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 19:07:49 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri May 08 08:19:15 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 08:19:21 -0700 2009 www.100bestbiz.com]]> 5 0 false false Sun Dec 16 14:58:22 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 16 15:00:46 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 18 09:49:28 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 09:52:19 -0800 2008 1 ]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 10:17:29 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 18:30:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jul 19 16:52:42 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 16:53:24 -0700 2008 Easy to read and get a lot out of.]]> 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 11:05:12 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 11:05:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 05:14:34 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 05:14:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 21:47:58 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 21:47:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 15:14:21 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 15:14:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 06:10:22 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 06:10:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 16:17:19 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 16:17:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 20:48:05 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 20:48:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 30 16:50:21 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 16:50:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 26 11:41:35 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 07:02:17 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 11:41:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 19 22:24:11 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 22:24:11 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=138298
