[Organizational Fluidity: MBWA.] The intensity of communications is unmistakable in the excellent companies. It usually starts with an insistence on informality. ... Getting management out of the office is another contributor to informal exchanges. At United Airlines, Ed Carlson labeled it "Visible Management" and "MBWA - Management By Walking About". HP [Hewlet-Packard] treats MBWA ("Management By Wandering Around" in this instance) as a major tenet of the all-important "HP Way".

La fluidité de l'organisation : le management baladeur. [...] Faire sortir la direction de son bureau contribue aussi aux échanges informels. A United Airlines, Ed Carlson l'a appelé le «management visible», ou le «management promeneur». Hewlett-Packard considère aussi ce «management baladeur» comme un principe clé du «style HP».
