Article by Charles Handy on the future economy and its inability to meet the demand for jobs. Handy suggests that, in the future, the economy will not be able to sustain a demand for jobs in the traditional sense and, as a result, the economy will increasingly drift toward a more service-based "personal economy." Thus, Handy calls for a wider definition of work and the growth of organizational villages, the development of federal structures, and the rise of contractual organizations to complement the employment body. He proceeds to conclude that organizations will themselves be more and more political and federalism will define company organization. Within these new constructs, values and priorities will be just as important as techniques in organization priorities.
