ABSTRACT
Globalization is, among other things, a rolling revolution in the shape and nature of organizations. Leaders of organizations everywhere are required to reexamine their ways of doing things, shift their boundaries, rearrange their internal structures, and create new communications links. Management theory has come a long way since the "scientific management" movement first began to capture the attention of business leaders in the early years of the twentieth century. As more and more employment has shifted into kinds of work that are grounded more in the third industrial revolution than the first, and with the simultaneous advent of global competition and a deluge of management theories, different organizational forms have emerged. The organization revolution is an important element of global cultural change, as it becomes widely understood that cultures involve much more than the arts and rituals and folkways that are traditionally identified with that term.
