The Pony Express: Lessons for Modern-Day Restructurers.
Kaufman, Roger
Educational Leadership, v48 n7 p7 Apr 1991
Shows the limitations of the Pony Express's hypothetical planning and restructuring process; planners failed to consider new realities and opportunities (like telegraphs and railroads) when trying to better the organization. Missions should be related to reality and results, not to rhetoric and good intentions. (MLH)
