The revised edition of this best-selling book shows convincinglythat many of today's major economic problems in the west canbe traced to a failure of management. In this updated editionthe author draws our attention to new examples of failedmanagement, from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, and the disasterat BP, to the ongoing problems in financial services companies suchas UBS and RBS. Throughout the book the references andstatistics have been updated, to make this a current, highlyrelevant analysis of the problems besetting modern business and howmanagers need to tackle them.
