About this title

Synopsis

Presents a wholistic approach that presents managers with a basic survival course that shows how to add value to an entire business, not just manage one's own department.

Offers not just theoretical constructs but three practical, usable models. Model A examines the design, facilitation, and assessment of basic business and organizational processes. Model B explains how to initiate and manage innovation and change. Model C tells how to manage the shadow side of an institution: organizational politics, individual idiosyncracies, and corporate culture.

Shows how to integrate these models into a system that managers can use to identify, organize, and implement the best ideas emerging from today's business and organization potential movement.
