TL;DR: The Toyota Production System is just that, a system; the failure to appreciate that starting-place and the advocacy of "tools" leads many to fail to grasp what is, without doubt, a significant opportunity for learning and improvement as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Systems thinking underpins ‘lean’ management and is best understood through action-learning as the ideas are counter-intuitive. The Toyota Production System is just that—a system; the failure to appreciate that starting-place and the advocacy of ‘tools’ leads many to fail to grasp what is, without doubt, a significant opportunity for learning and improvement. Two case studies illustrate the application of the ideas behind the Toyota System for service organisations. In each case managers had to ‘un-learn’ in order to learn how to take the opportunity provided by a systems approach to the design and management of work.

TL;DR: In a world where "one angry tweet can torpedo a brand" as mentioned in this paper, organizations need to embrace all possibilities, and there are opportunities for experimentation and correction, yet challenges abound, there are no definitive methodologies nor there is a "one-size-fits-all" formula that can be applied to all situations for optimum results.
Abstract: In a world where “one angry tweet can torpedo a brand,” 1 corporations need to embrace all possibilities. Social media2 have transformed the business and communication landscape and organizations appear to, reluctantly or willingly, recognize this change. Evolving patterns of communication, collaboration, consumption, and innovation have created new domains of interactivity for companies and stakeholders. In this changed scenario, there are opportunities for experimentation and correction, yet challenges abound. As on date, there are no definitive methodologies nor there is a ‘one-size-fits-all’ formula that can be applied to all situations for optimum results.
