dc.description.abstractThe article discusses the concept of clan control and its usefulness for managing teams in the workplace. The drawbacks of using traditional command and control systems for the management of business teams are noted. The clan control method, which involves fostering a group identity through social norms and coorientation within the larger corporate culture, is described as a useful alternative. The relationship of clan control to agency theory is discussed, and the importance of using team training methods which use organizational socialization to avoid adding unnecessary levels of bureaucracy is mentioned.
