The Socio-Economic Approach to Management: Steering Organizations Into the Future
by John Conbere and Alla Heorhiadi
Many organizational leaders may not even realize that most of their strategic decisions are made without accurate or full information. And yet more than 40 years of socio-economic research indicate that around 40% of what happens economically in organizations is not taken into consideration by traditional accounting. This lack of information affects an organization's effectiveness by turning organizational functions into dysfunctions which leads to hidden costs. The book describes the socio-economic theory and its application in the US organizations.
