  • Yale SOM Case 14-020 Herman Miller
    yale case 14-020 december 15, 2014 (rev. february 10, 2016) Herman Miller Preserving and Leveraging Culture in a Strategic Shift Charles Euchner1 “Inspiring designs to help people do great things” Herman Miller mission statement Approaching his tenth anniversary as CEO of Herman Miller (NASDAQ: MLHR), Brian Walker found himself in a pensive frame of mind, reflecting on what had been accomplished during his tenure and on the future challenges ahead. It was the end of 2014, two and a half years since Walker had announced a major strategic initiative that he called “Shift.” The strategy would take the furniture company far from its roots in rural West Michigan, expand its product line, and develop more direct connections to consumers. Walker knew he was steward to a storied company with a distinctive place in corporate history. Through its emphasis on design, Herman Miller had been in the vanguard of the modernist movement in furniture and had become a leader in providing cutting-edge office fixtures. The company also set audacious goals to protect the environment and established a major institute on facility management. Through it all, the company culture honored the evangelical Christian values of West Michigan—in particular, the Reformed Protestant tradition embraced by its first CEOs from the De Pree family—to create a human resource system that celebrated the whole worker. Still, the furniture industry was subject to the ups and downs of economic cycles. Herman Miller had been hit hard by the recession that began in 2008, requiring layoffs and cutbacks in training that challenged the firm’s values-based, covenantal culture.

De Pree convinced his father-in-law whose name was Herman Miller, to purchase the majority of the shares in the company. De Pree decided to name the company after his father-in-law–and Herman Miller was born as a company. Initially only replica traditional wooden furniture was produced but from 1924, following the appointment of the designer Gilbert Rohde, a line of original modern furniture was introduced.

  • Making a Virtue of Necessity: Herman Miller's Model for Innovation Stephen B. Adams Salisbury University the Center Piece of T
    Making a Virtue of Necessity: Herman Miller’s Model for Innovation Stephen B. Adams Salisbury University The center piece of the October 2011 issue of Fast Company was an article titled “The United States of Design,” which celebrated the influence of American designers and design-centered companies. The article singled out ten design icons in corporate America, including Herman Miller, Inc., which appeared beside Apple Inc.1 Herman Miller has earned a global reputation as a paragon of creativity, with multiple designs earning design of the decade and with the molded plywood chair recognized by Time magazine as design of the 20th century. Such innovation has been an integral factor in the company’s position as an industry leader (named “most admired” furniture company 16 of the first 18 years after joining the Fortune 500 in 1986). Based on recent scholarship in regional studies, however, one would never have guessed that a company from Zeeland, Michigan, distant from creative enclaves such as New York and Los Angeles, would make such an impact. How does a company so reliant on creativity in design thrive outside of the orbit of the creative class? Based on the company’s archival material (internal and external reports, papers and correspondence of executives and designers, meeting minutes, and annual reports), I will show how the furniture industry predicament and practices and the company’s location provided key constraints under which Herman Miller operated. The company’s location helped dictate a distinctive business model, with no designers on 1 Linda Tischler, “The United States of Design,” Fast Company (October 2011): 80.

  • Office Interiors and the Fantasy of Information Work
    tripleC 15(2): 540-562, 2017 http://www.triple-c.at Office Interiors and the Fantasy of Information Work Renyi Hong University of Southern California, Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, California, United States, [email protected] Abstract: This essay provides a historical context to the office interior, describing its capacity to enchant the sphere of work and to influence the conception of an information worker. Focusing on Florence Knoll and Robert Propst, American designers who contributed to the modern aesthetic in the mid-twentieth century, I highlight how the sale of offices convey an idea of information work which is compatible with pleasure, and how these ideas relate to middle-class norms. Knoll and Propst had relied heavily on the promotional techniques of showrooms, textiles, seminars, and informational materials. These communicative practices emphasise the sensate quality of information work, which coach workers to recognise and interpret the visual, aural, and tactile quality of work environments. In doing so, it also ties sensations of pleasure to the prospect of self-transformation and the fantasy of class mobility. Keywords: Office, Neoliberal Subjectivity, Affective Labour, History, Critical Design, Corporate Space, Affect Theory Acknowledgement: I would like to thank the reviewers for their patience and feedback with this essay. I am also thankful to Barbara Hahn, Jinny Koh, Sarah Banet-Weiser, Tisha Dejmanee, and Zhang Lin for their inputs. 1. Introduction Change Your Space, Change Your Culture, a management trade book published in 2014, makes the case that the office should be a place of refuge, a “safe place that offers some relief, hope, meaning, and accomplishment” from the “external jungle”, the world outside the office which is stressful and replete with unhappy situations (Miller, Casey and Konchar 2014, 18).

  • Kathryn Lofton – “Spiritless Space: a Religious History of the Office
    Conference & Workshop: “Media, Material, and Visual Components of Contemporary American Religious Erlebniswelten” (*experience worlds*) University of Heidelberg, August 16 – 18, 2012 Kathryn Lofton, Yale University "Spiritless Space: A Religious History of the Office Cubicle" Abstract: In December 2009, Rich Sheridan, CEO of the Ann Arbor, MI software firm Menlo Innovations posted a blog entry to his company’s site declaring that office cubicles “kill.” He wrote that cubicles “kill morale, communication, productivity, creativity, teamwork, camaraderie, energy, spirit, and results.” When AnnArbor.com ran an article about his post under the title “Death to Cubicles,” many replied, including its famed mother company. After a skirmish of posts and angry disagreement by critics and connoisseurs, Herman Miller waded into the fray, posting to their own web site a compassionate commiseration with Sheridan, as well as a reasoned reiteration of their own marketing clarity. “For us, the best places to work give people a choice of where to work and how to work—if wide‐open spaces suit the kind of work you do, go for them.” This product was—and is—about choice, Herman Milller reminds its buyers. “People will always need privacy, and organizations around the world have found the good old cubicle a wonderful way to organize heads‐down work and minimize distractions.” In the annals of modern design, it is difficult to imagine a more spiritless object than that of the office cubicle. And yet it is to this object that this research will turn, focusing on the ambition of its designer, Robert Propst, and the aesthetic of its producer, Herman Miller, to consider the ideology behind this pervasive sensory experience.
