From Management Education to Civic Reconstruction: The Emerging Ecology of Organisation (Managing Across Cultures) Description

From Management Education to Civic Reconstruction: The Emerging Ecology of Organisation (Managing Across Cultures): A unique analysis of how a combination of diverse, culturally based approaches are implicitly or explicitly built into the development of a business or organisation. Addressing key issues in developmental management, the author demonstrates how principles of ecology can be applied to different stages of organisational development at both local and global level.
Distinctive features include:
* examination of management and organisational development from a post-modern perspective
* up-to-date case material from a wide range of organisations, spanning the public, private and civic sphere
* development of a transcultural approach to the study of management principles and practices, incorporating practical and theoretical insights from across the globe.

From Management Education to Civic Reconstruction: The Emerging Ecology of Organisation (Managing Across Cultures)

Richard is good-looking and extremely smart, which is attractive to begin with. He conjointly makes a billion dollars before breakfast—and still knows how to rejoice. Few people in modern business are as colorful, shrewd, and irreverent, and doubtless no one’s nearly the maximum amount fun to be around. . . . Branson embodies America’s cherished mythology of the iconoclastic, swashbuckling entrepreneur. Branson wears his fame and cash exceedingly well: no necktie, no chauffeur, no snooty clubs. . . . What continues to set Branson apart is that the unique -- and, to some, baffling -- nature of his ambition. . . . He isn’t fascinated by power within the usual sense of influencing others. . . . Boiled down to its singular essence, Richard Branson just wants to have fun. Richard Branson . . . is dressed to the nines: in a very $10,000 white silk bridal robe with a conventional veil and train and acres of lace. . . . Branson is anticipated to do the unexpected, even the bizarre -- something to publicize his latest venture. . . . the fact is, Branson’s widely reported stunts seem nearly staid compared to the unconventional approach he manages his burgeoning empire.
