The Great Game of Business, Expanded and Updated: The Only Sensible Way to Run a Company

In the early 1980s, Springfield RemanufacturingÂ Â Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was aÂ Â near bankrupt division of International Harvester.Â Â That's when a green young manager, Jack Stack,Â Â took over and turned it around. He didn't know how toÂ Â "manage" a company, but he did know about theÂ Â principal, of athletic competition and democracy:Â Â keeping score, having fun, playing fair, providingÂ Â choice, and having a voice. With these principalsÂ Â he created his own style of management --Â Â open-book management. The key is to let everyone in onÂ Â financial decisions. At SRC, everyone learns how toÂ Â read a P&L -- even those without a high schoolÂ Â education know how much the toilet paper they useÂ Â cuts into profits. SRC people have a piece of theÂ Â action and a vote in company matters. ImagineÂ Â having a vote on your bonus and on what businesses theÂ Â company should be in. SRC restored the dignity ofÂ Â economic freedom to its people. Stack'sÂ Â "open-book management" is the key -- a systemÂ Â which, as he describes it here, is literallyÂ Â a game, and one so simple anyone can useÂ Â it. As part of the Currency paperback line, theÂ Â book includes a "User's Guide" -- anÂ Â introduction and discussion guide created for theÂ Â paperback by the author -- to help readers makeÂ Â practical use of the book's ideas. Jack Stack is theÂ Â president and CEO of the Springfield RemanufacturingÂ Â Corporation, in Springfield, Missouri. The recipientÂ Â of the 1993 Business Enterprise Trust Award, JackÂ Â speaks throughout the country on TheÂ Â Great Game Of Business and OpenÂ Â Book Management.
