Abstract

Classical management emphasizes efficiency, uniformity, control, predictability, and economies of scale. These principles, which are based on a mechanistic model, have been ingrained in the systems, organization structures, values, and assumptions of our culture. The emerging economy, on the other hand, rewards agility, innovation, and vitality. These attributes require a quantum culture that is based on an organic model. The structure and leadership of these two organizational styles are compared.
