Press 1961 An absolutely essential reading for EVERY board member, S-level executive, and aspiring executives: You should never think of making a policy or supporting a strategy unless you have read and mastered this book. The few brave managers who have read this through have gained a lot more insights, developed better organizational structures, and made a difference. Parts of this book may seem technical due to the DYNAMO equations, but with a little persistence, these are quite intelligible (most are basic algebra expressed in a computer code). Not just the main text, even the appendices are rich and deep with a lot of meaning and consequence. Every paragraph in this book is so well worded, you do not need other books simultaneously (or a dictionary if you are not a native English speaker). The beauty of this content is in linking the micro-structure we design in corporations and other social settings and their macro-behaviors - both are interrelated and each is connected in thought-through and profound ways. Learning from this book will advance: consistency of logic, understanding of real-world phenomena, appreciation of causal mechanisms, emergence of intuitive - AND counterintuitive - insights, and basic system dynamics modeling that, even if not practiced by the senior executive, must be understood by her/him. And those who practice will have more fun in understanding and relating. Industrial management,Quản lý công nghiệp my, Q Hieu Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Cần Thơ
