In the advanced industrialized economies, up to the 1980’s the dominant organisational model in the business and public services sector alike was the engineering or the bureaucratic model of the smooth running machine or system. Managers saw their role as maintaining and improving the organisation’s mechanisms and procedures, and if necessary ‘trouble shooting’ breakdowns in the system. Should such breakdowns present a persistent pattern, then managers’ response was devise a routine or technique which restored the organisational functioning to a steady state, if not to the original state as far as possible. Subsequently, managers sought to re-establish control and achieve a degree of accuracy in forecasting future organisational operation and performance. (Mintzberg, 1979).The underlying assumption of such an organisational paradigm was that the controlled and predictable organisational machine could be created, eventually, removing the pressure upon managers arising from operational crises, breakdowns and malfunctions. This belief sustained until the evidence came from the International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT), the international conglomerate which followed the practice draconianally, and results ran to the contrary with high levels of interpersonal conflict among top management, traumatic board meetings, and a large proportion of personally troubled CEO’s of ITT subsidiary companies.
