The revolution is happening before our eyes.
The easy certainties of the past are over. Modern management’s simplistic formulas have led to self-defeating conformity. We follow the latest fad but nothing improves because all our competitors are doing the same thing.
So what now?
Techonology promises freedom but delivers slavery. Power is shifting from producers to consumers, from the West to the East, from shareholders to executives. Marketing has to make dreams, not just profits. Smart finance leads to crises not profits. Managers need to manage, not just consult grids. Leaders need to make things happen fast.
Bestselling business author Jo Owen is your guide to this dazzling and exciting new world. The Death of Modern Management shows you how to turn risk into opportunity and succeed where others struggle.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. We are at the start of a new wave of management. The recent financial crisis highlighted problems not just in the economic system, but also in the way that many companies are governed and managed. Now modern management has reached its end game and we approach a new era in leadership. Rather than the certainties of command and control, this new epoch will be based on co-operation and commitment. There has been a strategic revolution - instead of following the rules, we now have to make them. For some this represents great risk; for others it is an enormous opportunity.
