Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What do business school graduates learn, and how helpful is it for managing in the everyday, messy reality of organisations? What does it mean to apply 'best practice', or to take up 'evidence-based management' and what kind of thinking does this imply?

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Rethinking Management, Chris Mowles argues that management courses may cause as many crises as they alleviate.
