Management is no matter of ideology, nor is it a question of fashion. Management is a craft - the universal and most important discipline of the 21st century. Fredmund Malik, the leading expert in the field of general management, provides you with the knowledge it takes to be a successful executive and manager, in any position, within any organisation. Fredmund Malik cuts straight to the core tasks of management, exposing its errors, misunderstandings and uncertainties with surgical precision. He shows what constitutes management - and, above all, what does not. His standard model for right and good management demonstrates how good management works, relating to the leadership of people as well as businesses. Fredmund Malik's theory is system-oriented and can thus be applied regardless of time or place. It is designed to work in all areas and industries of any society, irrespective of changing trends or national and cultural differences. Taking as his point of departure the consistent traits displayed by complex systems - phenomena that executives and managers are likely to address on a daily basis - Malik sets the standard for sound management in a knowledge-based economy.
