A bible for business radicals
The first edition of this book was published to wide critical acclaim in 1996, and is considered the definitive account of the revolution in management from the 1940's to today. Art Kleiner begins with Kurt Lewin and the National Training Laboratories to show how a small group of maverick thinkers helped to reshape corporate management in the twentieth century. This updated edition includes chapters on the quality movement, the balanced scorecard, and reengineering, as well as examining other key areas of change such as group dynamics, organizational development, scenario planning, shareholder activism, sociotechnical systems, and corporate environmentalism.
Art Kleiner (Pelham, NY) is Editor in Chief of strategy + business, a Booz Allen publication. He is also Editorial Director of the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook Series. Kleiner travels worldwide speaking and writing about leading-edge thinkers in management.
