Constraints to Replication? 632

eTextbook: Organization Theory & Design

operating in a product/service segment that was easy for others to enter, which was not

present in a premium or a niche segment—this meant that economies of scale could not be

ignored—could afford to bestow similar freedoms upon its employees. Some commentators

also observed that Semler, being the majority shareholder in a privately held company, had

the luxury of trying out his radical ideas. Would it be within the realm of possibility, they

wondered, for a large public company with diffused ownership to embark on such a journey?

So, would relinquishing control, described by Semler as Semco’s competitive advantage, be

limited to just one company?

Questions

1. How would you describe Semco’s organization design before and after the changes

implemented by Ricardo Semler?

2. In what ways is Semco’s design similar to and different from the holacracy structure

described in Chapter 3?

3. Describe the rather unusual Human Resource policies now in effect at Semco.

4. How did Semco handle downsizing during a weak economy? How did that approach

benefit the company?
