We are at the start of a new wave of management. The recentfinancial crisis highlighted problems not just in the economicsystem, but also in the way that many companies are governed andmanaged. Now modern management has reached its end game and weapproach a new era in leadership. Rather than the certainties ofcommand and control, this new epoch will be based on co-operationand commitment. There has been a strategic revolution - instead offollowing the rules, we now have to make them. For some thisrepresents great risk; for others it is an enormous opportunity.
The Death of Modern Management is a how-to guide forsurviving and thriving amidst the new uncertainties of contemporarybusiness.
