Produktbeschreibung

The recent economic crisis was not just caused by a failure ofregulation or economic policy; it was a story of the failure ofmanagement in a fundamental sense--a deeply flawedapproach to management that encouraged bankers to pursueopportunities without regard for their long-term consequences, andto put their own interests ahead of those of their employers andtheir shareholders. And looking more widely, there is a creeping disenchantment withmanagement as a profession: surveys show that managers generateless respect than lawyers and bankers in the eyes of the generalpublic, and there are few if any positive role models formanagement. "Change isn't just for the rank-and-file anymore; it's comingfor you. Instant access to information and global resources havechanged the world we live and work in.
