In Search of Management

In Search of Management looks at the nature of managerial skill and organizational effectiveness, asking managers what it is they think they do, what power they really have, how they manage under increasing pressure and whether they feel in control. By searching for a definition of management from managers themselves, Tony Watson draws a picture of the way managers shape their own lives and identities at the same time shaping the organization's work activities. This will be of interest to all those studying management, particularly MBA and other post-experience qualifications as well as the general manager.
