Tim Sullivan

NBC's "The Office" comes to an end. We talk to cultural critic Linda Holmes, culture blogger for NPR's Monkey See, and management expert Tim Sullivan, editor at Harvard Business Review and author of The Org: The Underlying Logic of the Office, about the show's impact.

Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan explain why everyday dysfunction is actually inherent to the very nature of organizations. In their book The Org: The Underlying Logic of the Office, they show the economic logic of why organizations exist in the first place and look at how they’re structured—from the cubicle to the CEO’s office.
