Key management ideas
thinkers that changed the
management world
The wide-ranging nature of
modern management means that managers need constantly to bring in concepts from a spectrum
of leading edge ideas now at their disposal. However, time and budget can make it
impossible to keep up with every management development, fad or initiative.
While Key Management Ideas
does not seek to lessen the challenge of management, it may help to make the trends,
influences and people behind them, more intelligible.
Ideas count.
The third edition of this
book has been substantially updated to include new sections on subjects including
Intellectual Capital, Lean Production and the Balanced Scorecard. There are two new
chapters on The Challenge of Technology and Careers and Working Life.
For each key idea covered,
the book outlines:
-
the essential content and background to the idea

best practice and first steps to implementation
