[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 178253, member: 7185"] I know this might make me sound like a snob or something but its not my intention. UPS as a business and corporate culture are built on industrial age principles. To an extent, there is no better way to found and run a company. However, as an [I]organization [/I]it makes us cumbersome and unable to quickly adapt. As such, our competitors (FDX and DHL) are running literal circles around us. I was given an excellent article in a grad class recently about the evolution of management and how it could adapt to this very different age of business. I read the first paragraph and my eyebrows raised. I thought to myself, "This is UPS!" Included in that article were a few suggestions, one of which a lot of people here would love: get ride of the bulk of middle management. The article's justification was that these middle management people stifle or cause breaks in communication. I thought the article was interesting. I have it here somewhere...-Rocky [/QUOTE]
