Create workspace that supports business strategies Space is an organization's second most valuable asset. Yet littleattention is paid to how it supports the new ways in which today'sorganizations operate---teamwork, flattened hierarchies, telecommuting, collaborating across functions. Workplace by Designshows CEOs and managers alike how to put aside and rethinkconventional, awkward notions of space utilization based onhierarchy and status--notions that pit people against each other inturf wars, tear apart teams, and tie up company cash. Usingillustrative examples from Digital Equipment Corporation, Steelcase, and others, the authors show how team environments, non-territorial offices and other strategies can support businessobjectives, energize employees, and produce a more competitiveorganization.

Thought Provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Overall a very good book. The authors try to show the incredible importance of workplace design and offer many examples of well designed workplaces. They are a little weak on empirical backing for some of their claims but all of what they say has at least an intuitive appeal.
