In May 2014, the French research laboratory ISEOR (SociöEconomic Institute for Firms and Organizations) and
the University of St. Thomas cösponsored a second conference on the application of the SociöEconomic Approach
to Management (SEAM) paradigm and methodology in the United States. SEAM is a scientific approach to consultancy that focuses on uncovering
the dysfunctions and hidden costs that exist in organizations, "hidden" in the sense that they are not captured by traditional accounting methods
and financial analyses. Through intervention that encompasses the entire organization - what the ISEOR team refers to as the HORIVERT approach
(combining horizontal and vertical intervention) - the underlying goal is to enhance organizational performance by attacking the "TFW virus," a
vestige of the early work by Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol, and Max Weber that has sufficiently infiltrated our thinking about management and organization
to the point where are falling well short of our own potential. The resultant dysfunctions this virus unleashes creates hidden costs that
readily destroy a firm's value¿added possibilities. The volume captures the ideas, applications, and exchanges of that meeting, attempting to bring
the reader into the conference itself. Chapters include the contributors' presentations ("Chapter Prologue: Conference Remarks"), revised conference
papers, and the question and answer dialogue for the session. |
