The changing nature of work (Harold Jarche, Canada) 19th Century – factory Model 20th Century – Clocks & Cubicles The work environment was relatively simple and best practices for management and communications were developed that still inform many of our current work practices. http://flickr.com/photos/brianhendrix/ The information age emerged and organisations had to deal with complicated environments. The flood of management books is an example that there was no single best practice, only good practices.
