The Manager's Problem Solver: Practical Solutions to Managers' Questions

This book seeks to offer to managers practical help by identifying the most likely problems he or she faces and offering answers to them. It is not a manual of management theory. It espouses no single system or philosophy. It accepts that there are some problems to which no solutions can be found. It draws on several sources of business wisdom: the pronouncements of transatlantic management writers; pieces of advice gleaned from experienced businessmen around the world; specific answers to questions from consultants in specific fields, from finance to feminism; and several random incidents of lateral thinking and straight talking from colleagues and friends.
