Abstract:

Richard Olson, a long-tenured employee, was named CEO of Champion in 1996. Champion had been conducting an organizational transformation since the early 1980s that could be considered successful on most operational and social measures. However, due to industry dynamics, success on the financial side has been harder to achieve. The change effort has focused on the creation of a high-performance organization through the use of self-managing teams at all levels of the organization.
