Handbook of Management
For the manager in the front
line there are no easy answers. Recent years have seen the cloud of managerial certainty
dramatically dispersed. From being fixated on universal solutions and elusive quick fixes,
management has come of age.
After representing a rational
and analytical art, management has broken its ties. Rationalism has given way to dynamism;
solutions have been replaced by questions.
Financial Times Handbook of
Management is written in this new spirit. It does not offer immediate solutions for unique
situations; instead it raises issues, poses questions and examines emergent management
thinking and best practice from an array of angles.
The Handbook is an ignition
point. It brings together a cornucopia of ideas, practices and thinking, with the
intention of prompting further questioning, exploration and reading.
More than ever before,
Management is perplexing and challenging. Financial Times Handbook of Management captures
the state of this indispensable, inspiring, invigorating and essential art.
