Navigating a Travelling Organization: Insights, Ideas and Impulses from the 3-P-Model

This book dives deep into the ＂Three Pillar Model＂ (3-P-Model) applied by the authors for organizations. These pillars are: Sustainable Purpose, Traveling Organization, and Connected Resources. The authors specifically concentrate on the pillar Traveling Organization and help in understanding the concept, its design, and navigation in practice. The expert contributors also show the relevance of the 3-P-Model in diverse areas - from profit and public organizations to the catholic church and cultural work. The navigation is aligned with the pillar Sustainable Purpose and connects professional topics, organizations, and people as three core resources. Organizational scientists, business strategists, and executive MBA students will particularly benefit from this book.
