The Death of Modern Management: How to Lead in the New World Disorder

Modern management is dying under the weight of its own contradictions. The old order is giving way to a new world disorder.
So what now?
Bestselling business author Jo Owen is your guide to the dazzling and dangerous new world. The Death of Modern Management shows you how to turn risk into opportunity and succeed where others struggle.
“Jo Owen delivers a robust and wide–ranging assault on the delusions of management, strategy, finance and marketing that have created an aura of justified mistrust around the modern corporation, but does so with wit, lucidity and lots of enlivening illustrations. The answers for 21st century business are helpfully accessible.”
Professor Nigel Nicholson, London Business School, author of Managing the Human Animal and Family Wars
