Synopsis

How are leaders successfully managing competitive companies in the 21st Century? Gulati/Mayo/Nohria's MANAGEMENT, 1E, by award-winning instructors and prominent Harvard business experts, addresses the many integrated facets in answering this key question to help you effectively prepare for successful leadership now and in the future. As a manager, you will be confronted with challenges and opportunities that are more dynamic and complex than ever before. As a leader in any business role, you need to understand how to harness technological advances, manage and lead a dispersed and diverse workforce, anticipate and react to constant competitive and geopolitical change and uncertainty, compete on a global scale, and operate in a socially responsible and accountable manner. Gulati/Mayo/Nohria's MANAGEMENT, 1E demonstrates the mutual interconnectivity between three key facets of management: strategic positioning, organizational design, and individual leadership. The book presents management from a tangible, integrated, and current perspective, teaching you to visualize how strategy informs leadership and how leaders influence strategic positioning and, ultimately, manage performance.

About this title

Product Description:

Rare Book

Review:

"Overall, the chapter is well-organized, educational, and stimulating. Excellent use of definitions, diagrams, and examples." "Real companies with real problems and real challenges helps make it easier to put things into perspective."

"I think it is good to read about companies that have had success (or failure) and relate them back to the appropriate content of the chapter. "Real world" examples and experience are far more effective than just reading text and concepts."

"Not only did the majority of this material help with course requirements, but it was also interesting to think about examples from my personal experiences to relate them to various topics discussed."

"Good coverage of topics, clearly defined sections, exercises do a good job relating subject matter to real-world experiences.""Topics are reinforced with good detail and text uses well-known companies/cases to apply topics.""Text provides detail on all subjects without going too far in depth that it loses the reader's attention."

This product has revolutionized my way of teaching and my writing classes. My students no longer see me as the one holding the big gradebook and, so, to be feared. Instead, they see me as a facilitator -- someone who can discuss with them the writing process and then assist them in using Write Experience to pre-write, write, and revise. My classrooms are now kinder, gentler, and, in many ways, exactly the type of writing-centered places I envisioned creating when I first became a teacher. A tip-of-my-hat to the Write Experience team!
