The Reality of Management
The Reality of Management, now in its third edition, carves a clear course through the fads and fashions of management theory providing the manager with a practical and usable guide to managing effectively. First published in the 1960s, this thoroughly revised and updated edition finds the fundamentals of managing remain the same. It provides a unique long perspective on current managerial fashions, on the evidence of their utility and distinguishing what is new from what is reinvention. The Reality of Management is addressed to all managers who wish to learn more about their jobs for the practical reason of becoming better managers and to all students who seek to learn something of the realities of management.
Managerial Work

Managing Today and Tomorrow
The basics of management remain the same. Managing is very different in different jobs, organizations and countries. Management is changing radically. All three statements are true. Most books on management focus on the first or the third statement. This book is unusual in that it takes account of all three. It does so because effective managers increasingly have to understand not only the basics of management, but also how it is changing and how that affects their work and careers. Managers are much more mobile than they used to be, so they also have a greater need than in the past to understand where, how and why management differs.
Choices for the Manager

Managing in Britain and Germany
Managing in Britain and Germany compares British and German managers' behaviour and views of their work, and seeks to explain the differences. Based on a two year comparative study by British and German research teams, the book challenges the universal view of management presented in so many management books, by showing how differently German middle managers think and act. These differences are then unravelled and traced back to their various roots: ranging from the particular (nature of the job, product or organisation) to the general (the society's institutions and values). Written by leading management experts from Britain and Germany, the book provides useful lessons and insights for practising managers and for those studying management everywhere.
