Overview:<\/b><\/p>\n
In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing \u00a0Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a \u00a0near bankrupt division of International Harvester. That’s when a green young manager, Jack Stack, \u00a0took over and turned it around. He didn’t know how to “manage” a company, but he did know about the \u00a0principal, of athletic competition and democracy: keeping score, having fun, playing fair, providing choice, and having a voice. With these principals \u00a0he created his own style of management — open-book management. The key is to let everyone in on financial decisions. At SRC, everyone learns how to read a P&L — even those without a high school \u00a0education know how much the toilet paper they use cuts into profits. SRC people have a piece of the action and a vote in company matters. Imagine having a vote on your bonus and on what businesses the \u00a0company should be in. SRC restored the dignity of economic freedom to its people. Stack’s “open-book management” is the key — a system which, as he describes it here, is literally a <\/span>game<\/span><\/i>, and one so simple anyone can use \u00a0it. As part of the Currency paperback line, the \u00a0book includes a “User’s Guide” — an introduction and discussion guide created for the \u00a0paperback by the author — to help readers make practical use of the book’s ideas. Jack Stack is the \u00a0president and CEO of the Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation, in Springfield, Missouri. The recipient \u00a0of the 1993 Business Enterprise Trust Award, Jack speaks throughout the country on <\/span>The \u00a0Great Game Of Business<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Open \u00a0Book Management<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n Authors:<\/b><\/p>\n Jack Stack, Bo Burlingham<\/span><\/p>\n Published In:<\/b><\/p>\n 16 July 2013<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview: In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing \u00a0Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a \u00a0near bankrupt division of International Harvester.
