"Innovating Organization and Management - New Sources of Competitive Advantage" available from March 2012.
The search for competitive advantage serves as the basis for organizational strategy. This book argues that organizational design and management processes may be strategic resources in their own right. This new way of looking at organization and management requires a search for new ways of structering organizational design and managerial processes.
The points are driven home through case studies of the Danish firms LEGO Group, Vestas Wind Systems, Coloplast, Chr. Hansen, IC Companys and NKT Flexibles.

Furthermore, this book:
  • Directs the attention of management students and practitioners to the importance of management innovations in understanding successful performance at firm level
  • Explains the importance of management innovation through real cases, not just as a theoretical concept
  • Includes reflection questions and discussions across the cases so that they can form the basis for classroom discussions
