Organisations need people, who should be motivated and whose talents should be used. Brunel University's Elliott Jacques discovered that key levels of management with different capabilities are needed. All staff can be creative at a suitable level, making the business more efficient.

The dying stars

Article Abstract:

There are a number of important indicators that a company may be in irreversible decline. The inability to take rapid action is an important sign, as is a lack of intellectual capital. It is also worth being cautious about a company which has a very inflexible structure and about a company which is poorly informed. Information is a significant challenge for many companies, even in the digital age, and there is often a large gap between a company's access to information and its ability to use that information.
