getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Organizational experts Mats Alvesson and André Spicer make a strong case about the dangerous prevalence of "functional stupidity" in organizations. They provide iconoclastic, intriguing insights on functional intelligence and its absence. The authors outline specific steps companies can take to transform from being stupid to being smart. Their detailed presentation offers many revealing case histories to bolster their argument – although they fail to address how, with all the organizational dumbness they identify, corporations are able to develop products, like smartphones, that transform consumers' lives. Nevertheless, getAbstract recommends their clever program for helping smarten up your management and boost your organization's well-being.
