"Financial Times" Handbook of Management Book

With contributions from the likes of Kjell Nordstrom, Jonas Ridderstrale and Warren Bennis, it's no slip of a copywriter's pen that the Financial Times Handbook of Management is subtitled "The State of the Art". Now an international bestseller in its second edition, the Handbook is a heavyweight in every sense--a strategic business resource containing think pieces from a breathtaking array of modern management gurus; business minds from academic, consultancy and media backgrounds many of whose books are bestsellers in their own right. Every aspect of modern business is covered from management and marketing to finance and distribution. Even at 800 pages it doesn't pretend to be definitive or exhaustive. "The boundaries are gone. The game has changed. The rule book is out of date," as Professor Gary Hamel notes in his foreword from the first edition. As a primer to 21st-century business techniques, though, it's required reading. In addition to contributions from the likes of Fons Trompenaars, Marcus Alexander, Paul Argenti and Sandra Vandermerwe there is also extensive coverage and analysis of the work of many major gurus such as Tom Peters, Gary Hamel and Charles Handy. The Financial Times Handbook of Management will provide managers and business commentators with a powerful set of actions, solutions and ideas. --Alex BenadyRead More
