Follet’s central focus is the aspect of power in an organizational context: collaboration, self-management, and coordination. A critical study of what happens at the 3M show that there is an active application of Follet’s ideas in management.

One of the best methods is developing the internal code of conduct, ...

The success of any company does not depend on the collection of individuals who work by themselves.

The learning behavior of operating businesses is evolutionary by phasing out older modes of learning (e.g. formal professional development, meetings and water cooler chats) and implementing similar platforms and applications (e.g. interactive, collaborative, user-friendly wikis). Thus, by ...
