First Discipline, Discipline of Disciplines: Re-emergence of Asian Management

The graphic user interface took technology to the masses. This book does the same to management, facilitating accelerated learning and mastery of the critical set of sustained high performance competencies. Through visual semiotics, the integral meta-framework takes the reader to the philosophical foundations of management connecting the east and the west and the process of achieving mastery of these competencies. At a time when the very relevance of the discipline is at stake, the book is a welcome offering.
