Synopsis
Based on a study of forty-three of America's best-run companies from a diverse array of business sectors, In Search of Excellence describes eight basic principles of management -- action-stimulating, people-oriented, profit-maximizing practices -- that made these organizations successful. This is an updated edition of the classic bestseller - the most famous book by the world's most trusted management guru. In 1999 Americans rated "In Search of Excellence" one of the 'top three business books of the 20th century'. In 2000 Bloomsbury published an opinion poll ranking it 'The Greatest Business Book of All Time'. Now it is comprehensively updated for the 21st century by the authors.
