Management : a critical text
"Management: A Critical Text identifies the major issues that managers need to understand and respond to in the context of dramatic changes in the world economy. As the nature of management becomes less and less certain, the forces of international competition, change in both public and private sectors, economic deregulation, industrial restructuring and technological transformation have also been accompanied by changes in social values. Other cultures are now part of our everyday experience, and respecting and thriving on diversity is a major management challenge. Ethics and social responsiveness are no longer a luxury, but essential components of the management task and accountability. These developments necessitate a rethinking of management and they pose major challenges to conventional ideas of leadership and managing strategic change." "This book presents students and practising managers from all walks of life with new, exciting and creative ways of thinking and learning about management."--Jacket
