Hi Daan,
I do really agree with you. I think the dimensions of power and politics are always neglected while they often drive all the operations inside an organisation (not only at the top). Actually I have studied the so called "managerial fads" theory, stating the all the managerial restructuring (TQM, BPR, even KM) are attempt made by top managers to set the power distance toward "middle management", to make others understand who "leads" the game. This theory is certainly a little to extreme (we can't generalize that way, I think there are top managers who act more professionally), but there's something true...
Kindest Regards
