The Financial Times Handbook of Management

Management is the art of the moment. It is not a static art. It is more dynamic, challenging and complex than ever before. For millions of managers across the world it is a constant source of excitement, learning and achievement.

There is no one secret of management, but for once there are more answers than questions. The Financial Times Handbook of Management is the most ambitious, comprehensive and authorative management solution ever published.

This Handbook brings together the latest management thinking from the best in the world — Pascale, Moss-Kanter, Mintzberg, Hamel, Semler and more.

There is no better solution to your management questions: there is no better source of ideas.
