The Charles G. Koch Foundations Marked-Based Management (MBM) er en spændende størrelse. Jeg lod første gang mærke til begrebet i en annonce for konceptet i Reason Magazine og har flere gange været forbi Kock Industries et al (aka “the kochtopus” ifgl. Peter Kurrild) for at finde ud af mere om, hvad det egentlig er.
Nu er jeg snublet over “The MBM Institue“, der også har en blog, og endda et indlæg om det af Peter Klein på Organizations & Markets-bloggen.
Fra førstnævnte:
MBM is based on rules of just conduct, economic thinking, and sound mental models which harnesses the dispersed knowledge of employees, just as markets harness knowledge in society. It is organized in and interpreted through five dimensions: vision, virtue and talents, decision rights, incentives, and knowledge processes.
Og fra sidstnævnte:
“Some of the ideas that undergird Market Based Management seem fairly commonsensical to me, and I’m not entirely sold on the notion that this program somehow represents a seismic breakaway from what is taught at Harvard Business School.” Indeed, the idea that organizations can sometimes exploit “market-like incentives” would hardly surprise Chester Barnard, Alfred Chandler, or Oliver Williamson, let alone Alfred P. Sloan
Så blev jeg det klogere.
