| Summary |
This is not a standard book on management. It does not attempt to take the reader through the process of planning, forecasting, organising, delegating, motivating, monitoring, controlling and communicating in a sequential order, as in Fayol's wheel of managerial functions. Instead, it goes 'beneath the skin' of management as it were, to discuss issues that are not normally dealt with either in speech or in writing. |
