French title: Le management sans frontières
Publisher: Les Éditions d'Organisation, 1991

After studying the global organization methods of the most effective corporations, the authors have concluded that the traditional concept of a central entity surrounded by cookie-cutter satellites is henceforth outmoded. Companies are therefore advised to take a completely different tack and apply differentiated organizational principles specifically adapted to each field and line of business in the corporation. The book then describes the best management processes for effective coordination of scattered resources.
