Understanding Power in Organizations
Abstract
Managers devote too much of their time and energy to making the right decisions and too little to figuring out how the decisions they make are actually going to be implemented. A decision itself changes nothing. The key to effective management lies in understanding how organizational change actually occurs. This in turn requires managers to recognize that organizations are essentially systems and structures of power. By learning how to manage with power, managers will be better able to achieve both their own goals and those of their company.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
