In the early 1980s Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield Missouri was
a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. Today it's one of the most successful and
competitive companies in the United States with a share price 3000 times what it was thirty
years ago. This miracle turnaround is all down to one man Jack Stack and his revolutionary
system of Open-Book Management in which every employee understands the company's key figures
can act on them and has a real stake in the business. In Stack's own words: 'When employees
think act and feel like owners ... everybody wins.'As a management strategy 'the great game
of business' is so simple and effective that it's been taken up by companies from Intel to
Harley Davidson.
