| Abstract | "Management is the art of putting people to work. But what are the fundamental elements of the work of management and managers? What tools and techniques can they employ as they do this? The Concise Guide to Management will succinctly define the basic practices and concepts that guide modern management and contemporary managers. By focusing on the work that managers perform, it provides the core concepts of organizational management. That work is divided into three areas of practice: operation (ensuring the smooth and effective running of the organization and engaging with the environment to generate resources), opportunities (taking advantage of open doors and protecting the organization from attack); and organization (shaping the firm's place in society, including managing stakeholder relations, politics, ethical standards, and preparing for the future of work itself-as work changes, the role of the manager changes as well). The book builds on its authors' decades of experience as organizational managers and management professors. Designed for new managers as a roadmap and for experienced managers as a reference guide, this book could be adopted as easily in business schools as in public administration schools"-- Provided by publisher. |
