| Tóm tắt: | Most books on management principles focus on particular rules of thumb
and best management practices. While the latter approach provides useful
guidance and insights, it does not give executives much of an understanding
of what bad management can entail and the damage that it can
produce. Indeed, good management makes the most sense when it can be
directly contrasted with examples of bad management and its implications.
To fi ll this critical gap, this book adopts a fresh approach, identifying
cases of bad management from real-life business situations experienced
by the author (chapter 3) and contrasting them with good management
practice as concisely defi ned in chapter 2.
The sound management principles so developed can subsequently be
applied to a broad range of settings for personal careers in traditional enterprises
or adapted to management of small fi rms (chapter 5) or international companies
(chapter 6). Also, they can be used to establish role models and mentor
topics for individuals (i.e., ideal managers) and excellent companies (chapter 4).
The last chapters show how good management practice can be applied
to better handle a wide range of current world problems faced not only by
companies (chapter 7) but also by national governments and international
institutions (chapters 8 and 9) during these particularly uncertain times.
Finally in the appendices, there are two specifi c cases illustrating the
usage of rigorous management techniques to analyze events and situations
outside the company business arena.
This book will be of interest to practicing managers and to students
of management. It can be a useful support to mainstream academic books
for current students but is of greatest value to postgraduates in their fi rst
or second job, for older managers who have not previously been exposed
to this kind of material, and for various researchers or counselors who
could further develop certain of the novel themes proposed here. |
