Mintzberg on Management
This book brings together Mintzberg's thoughts on organizations and how they are managed. The essays, many published previously in book or journal form, are grouped into three sections. The first deals with the world of management--what the manager does, the process of strategy development, and the need for both analysis and intuition in management. The second focuses on how differently configured organizations achieve coordination and formulate strageties, the role of politics in organizations, and the driving forces in organizations. The final section addresses the role of the large organization in society. The book raises many important questions. Highly recommended.- Jane M.
