Global Is Local
Recycling Familiar Components
Abstract
We have observed that management strategies change places and sometimes proceed in the opposite direction in different locations. At the same time, all ideas appear to be represented throughout many organisations. We claim that what are normally referred to as global ideas actually represent the local recycling of old ideas. Management strategies change names, speed and are combined in different ways and global trends function as catalysts. This study, which has been carried out for over ten years, summarises our experiences from a comparative study of the development of reforms in Australian and Swedish municipalities.
