* Reddin, W. J. The output oriented organization. Gower, Aldershot, UK, 1988, pp 253.
This book is directed to members of the top team of an autonomous or largely autonomous unit. Its purpose is to help the members of the top team to create a planned change program for their organization. The general approach is sometimes referred to as organization development. It is used as the basis for the Top Team Workshop. This Workshop lasts for three days and is normally conducted on an in-company basis but sometimes in public. All participants study the book and complete about 20 hours of pre-work before attending the workshop. The public workshop focuses on the participant’s own organization. This is possible because managers do not come individually to the workshop but at least in pairs and, more often, larger groupings.
