The Death of Modern Management (ePub)

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.

The Death of Modern Management is a how-to guide for
surviving and thriving amidst the new uncertainties of contemporary
business.

"...a joyride through new ideas, memorable stories and superb
writing." Philip Kotler

"Jo Owen gives a fascinating insight into how 21st century
management now works. It is helpful to have someone with his
experience, intellect and vision explain the radical changes in a
way that makes sense and is immediately usable."

Juliet Hope, CEO, Startup

"Jo Owen delivers a robust and wide-ranging assault on
the delusions of management, strategy, finance and marketing that
have created an aura of justified mistrust around the modern
corporation, but does so with wit, lucidity and lots of enlivening
illustrations. The answers for 21st century business are helpfully
accessible."

Professor Nigel Nicholson, London Business School, author of
Managing the Human Animal and Family Wars

"...offers insights that help encourage different
thinking." Director Magazine
