Hardback. Condición: Good. Charles Handy's revolutionary 1989 bestseller The Age of Unreason catapulted him into the ranks of the top management consultants. Now, in this new edition of his acclaimed study Understanding Organizations, he solidifies his reputation as a seminal business thinker, offering a brilliantly insightful, wide-ranging look at business organizations. Long a bestseller in the United Kingdom, this classic text offers an illuminating discussion of key concepts of concern to all managers: culture, motivation, leadership, power, role-playing and working in groups. Ever mindful of actual business practice, Handy directly addresses how managers can translate the six main concepts into invaluable tools for effective management. He discusses how all organizations need to select, develop and reward their people; to structure and design their work; to resolve political conflicts; to lay down guidelines for their managers; and to plan for the future. In each case, the approaches and techniques described here are invaluable. Equally important, Handy excels at presenting his ideas in colorful, immediately accessible ways, filling the book with illuminating examples and inventive metaphors that range from Tolstoy's ideas on the concept of self, to the many meanings of "good morning," to the conversations that occur in a stopped elevator, to the proper size for a vineyard or an elephant. He shows, for instance, how an optical illusion experiment sheds light on interdepartmental relations, and how the way schoolchildren are typecast by their peers helps explain corporate hierarchies. And along with case studies, graphs, charts, and questionnaires, Understanding Organizations is peppered with boxed sections that offer advice and stimulate thought, brimming with provocative quotations from business wizards such as Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, Warren Bennis, Alvin Toffler, and Rosabeth Moss Kanter, as well as from Aristotle, Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan, Gail Sheehy, and Joseph Heller. What the successful manager knows intuitively, Charles Handy puts into words. His powerful interpretive schemes will help managers grasp the underlying dynamics of their company, make sense of its past, and assess--and shape--its future. …

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First of this Oxford University Press Edition (Number Line to 1). You can see the covers of the book in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. The lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges are in excellent shape. So are the corners. The page edges look perfectly clean. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. Both white inside covers and end papers are very clean and free of wear. All of the pages in the book can be thus described. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. A dozen or so pages have an eeny teeny little crease just above the tips of their bottom corners. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's very clean. I don't see any tears. There is a fairly inconspicuous small scratch on the spine. The flaps look very good, very clean, one tiny crease just above the tip of the front flap's bottom corner. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.
