Book Synopsis

Much of the hoopla surrounding quality circles, teams, and high-performance work systems has been based on anecdotes and very thin evidence. It has not been established that those employee involvement strategies amount to anything more than another...



Trade Review

This small book packs a big punch. We've long sought evidence that innovative work practices, such as teams and employee participation in problem solving, are worth the effort that it takes to implement them. Anecdotal studies and manager self-reports have offered some support that overall firm performance improves, but we've had little empirical evidence for our skeptical colleagues. Manufacturing Advantage delivers.
