Description:... This is a guide to recognizing the symptoms of corporate anorexia, and the actions needed to achieve the balance that leads to real and sustained growth. It shows that de-layered structures can deliver a sustained competitive edge, provided that constant health checks keep check of stress levels, spans of control and support mechanisms. It examines the new role of HR practitioners as corporate physiologists, building up business muscle and slimming down where necessary while avoiding the dangers of anorexia.
