Packed with diagrams, anecdotes and examples which bring the book to life, Effective Management in Practice:

- illustrates the need for a balanced approach, emphasizing the importance of the questioning process in clarifying the nature of action proposals and any underlying assumptions

- eschews any approach which advocates one right way but at the same time encourages a greater appreciation of practical issues through analysis and theory

Students of management, academics and any practitioner interested in exploring a range of different approaches to management will enjoy and treasure this book.
