A wonderful special section (”The Future of Work”) in the current (Aug 20&27, 2007) BusinessWeek has me underlining and circling and cutting and pasting into rtf files.
For example, this from “Managing the New Workforce”:
… The very idea of a company is shifting away from a single outfit with full-time employees and a recognizable hierarchy. It is something much more fluid, with a classic corporation at the center of an ever-shifting network of suppliers and outsourcers, some of whom only join the team for the duration of a single project.
What’s your idea?
