The basis for the case study is on Zappos announcement in January 2014 is replacing its traditional structure with Holacracy-a radical “self-governing” management system that eliminated all job titles and managers. This is Zappos part of CEO Tony Hsieh's vision to innovate and disrupt the business landscape. So far 10% of the company around 150 employees has implemented the model. The announcement has polarized critics and managers. There are many challenges facing this new experiment in management, as Holacracy has no strong precedence. Scalability is a major impediment in their quest to fully integrate the model by the end of 2014. The uncertainty and diversity of employee self-determination and motivation serves as another obstacle for Zappos. Top Keywords Zappos, Online shopping, CEO. Top |
