Not so new ... but it seems that some news has to be repeated on and on, that people learn. In 1987 the book "Peopleware" already described the open office trap. But since, the idea keeps coming back in CEOs minds. I experienced it in a big corporation I was in. Decades after Peopleware, Open-Office was declared as "big new invention from the US" -- but it still was the same old fallacy. The idea kept coming up always in new flavors and new "inventions" -- it seems that the idea is just to attractive for managers to be buried. The problem is, that you have to invest in people to get best results -- and conventional economical thinking often times goes the opposite direction, how to cut costs.
