THINKING ABOUT MANAGEMENT - Hardcover

Levitt, author of The Marketing Imagination (Free Pr., 1983; 1986. rev. ed.), very briefly discusses a number of topics affecting managers. He asserts that central to effective management is the capacity to think, change, and operate. Accordingly, the book is divided into three sections. The first encourages managers to question what, how, and why the organization is pursuing a particular direction. The second section focuses on the dynamic environment and innovation in organizations. The third division deals primarily with the getting and keeping of customers along with the globalization of competition. This is a very readable book that should appeal to practicing managers and man agement collections.
