Summary

Today's managers are confronted with a bewildering blur of change but The New Management cuts through the confusion by integrating emerging practices into a coherent, clarifying whole. William Halal shows how democracy and enterprise are transforming our institutions. Illustrative examples, survey data, trends, anecdotes and exercises offer original insights into the use of New Management principles. In addition, mini case studies of a number of major companies illustrate vividly how creative managers design and lead organisations in an era of global competition, constant change and empowered people. The New Management is comprehensive, stimulating guide for all managers.

Author Biography

Bill Halal discovered the interest that led to this book while working as an aerospace engineer on the Apollo program. He had obtained a B.S. in aerospace engineering from Purdue, served in Europe for three exciting years as an Air Force officer, and then joined Grumman when the company was awarded the NASA contract to build the Lunar Module. It was the thrill of a lifetime to see that first “spaceship” land on the Moon. But he felt a keen need to become engaged in something that concerned people and society, some as yet undefined interest closer to the heart of life.
