In 2009, authors Isaac Getz of ESCP Europe Business School, and Brian Carney, of The Wall Street Journal, published the book Freedom, Inc., which made the case for businesses based upon the principles of freedom. They advocate removing bureaucratic rules and regulations and allowing employees to do what they do well without traditional "managerial" intervention. Some of the more notable companies detailed in their book:
IDEO
W. L. Gore & Associates
Semco, made famous by their president, Ricardo Semler, in his book Maverick
The Morning Star Company, a privately held food processing and agribusiness company, is a fully self-managed company, having no formal hierarchy, and allowing colleagues within the company to commit to their own activities, organize their own work, and coordinate their own working relationships with other colleagues. Morning Star was the initial sponsor of the Morning Star Self-Management Institute, a research and training organization aimed at furthering the principles of Self-Management in organizations.
