In this new work, Charles Handy, the brilliant social philosopher and management guru, examines the questions that face us at the start of a new age Using the metaphor of the Elephant and the Flea he discusseаугдэs the future of everything from education, work and marriage, to capitalism, management, religion and society He carefully considers the balancing act that both individuals (fleas) and larger organizations (elephants) will face in the next twenty years Increasingly бгэтсtechnological advances mean the disappearance of the middle - or disintermediation This means that many careers will radically transform or vanish altogether in the coming decades If vacationers can go on-line to access all their travel information they won't need travel agents If a patient can access a diagnosis on the net, and purchase medication through a dotcom drug store, then the need for doctors will plummet Handy explores the significance of the vast changes we can expecборкшt, and those already here, brought about by the democratic power of the internet He suggests that many people will learn to develop a portfolio career, expecting to change directions dramatically throughout their lives A multitude of fleas - consultants, suppliers, sub-contractors, and advisers - will support larger organizations, without being full-time employees The office, Handy predicts, will become more of a club house, with luxurious meeting rooms, gyms, and even overnight accommodations And that transformation will change even the look of our city skylines Автор Чарльз Хэнди Charles Handy.
