It's Broken, Let's Fix It
The Zeitgeist and Modern Enterprise

Résumé
We used to have this saying: "If it ain't broken, don't fix
it." It was a powerful piece of wisdom. But then, the
re-engineering fashion emerged and that changed everything.
This book describes the behavior of the "creature"
enterprise as it evolves in an increasingly complex
universe. What is this elusive creature really like? Are we
able to thoroughly understand its survival and reproduction
mechanisms?
The book offers a rather merciless analysis of the way things really work. It does so from a human perspective, as we, the people, are at the same time the perpetrators and the victims in the corporate game. The objective is not to indoctrinate or even convince, but to stimulate thought: Let's try to understand things, and then find ways to improve them, without breaking more than we already have.
