It's interesting how ideas take hold and are, like things, popular, based on who uses them and how they are presented. However, both the style of the article and the photography make it more of a marketing piece than a case study. Still, as a marketing piece, it does a great job explaining why these ideas are so important. For a more in-depth view, see Margaret Wheatley's work. Ricardo Semler's Semco has used this approach for years and many of the fundamental concepts discussed are seen in lean manufacturing and agile software development processes.
