Sample the best of the best philosophies, views, and theories in management.
The Manager’s Bookshelf: A Mosaic of Contemporary Views is a collection of objective summaries from a broad sampling of bestselling business books. Presenting readers with a collage of information to improve their knowledge of management practices, this text introduces the philosophies, views, and experiences of several authors whose works have captivated the attention of today's management community.
Staying current: This text introduces a fresh new set of articles that have been included from eighteen new bestselling titles on management. Some of the topics addressed in this edition include:
- Ethics, Value and Spirituality in the Workplace
- The Managerial Brain
- “Undiscussable” Issues at Work
- Workplace Survival: Dealing with Bad Bosses, Bad Worker, and Bad Jobs
- The No-Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t
Sparking insight and discussion: Overall, this text provides useful insights that work to evoke self-reflection, and spark stimulating dialogue with colleagues about the management of today's organizations.
The tenth edition of The Manager’s Bookshelf introduces a fresh new set of readings into the book. A dozen new best sellers are included, replacing numerous other books that had become somewhat dated. The goal of this (and previous) revisions was to make The Manager’s Bookshelf an undeniably comprehensive and up-to-date compendium of highly readable book summaries. Here are the major changes we designed and built into the new edition:
- In response to user feedback, the authors abbreviated and streamlined Part 1 so that it now contains key two readings: (1) an Introduction (exploring the popularity of best sellers, the rationale for the book, the typical contents of the best sellers, a structured format for critiquing them, our selection strategy, and commentary on the authors of the best sellers) and (2) some cautionary observations provided by some reflective scholars.
- The authors have gradually expanded the size of the Best Seller “Classics" section, as additional books prove themselves to be enduring across time in their popularity.
- A new section has been inserted, Part III, to provide solid perspectives on the important topic of Organizational Culture.
- At the urging of reviewers, the authors created a section on Teams and Teamwork.
- The thrust of Part XI has been changed to capture both the rational and intuitive perspectives on Managerial Decision-Making.
- A new Part XIII on Social Technologies at Work is not included.
- Part 16, “Contemporary Thinking about Management,” was expanded to include Henry Mintzberg’s unique perspectives on Managing, as well as Thomas Friedman’s thoughts on how the world is changing.
- Other new inclusions in this edition accent themes of leadership transparency, Mojo, collaboative intelligence, super crunchers, and irrationality.
