Annotation

Heller, editor of Management Today and a leading authority on corporate management, offers a penetrating look at today's efforts to remold American businesses, as companies strive to become leaner, tougher and more focused on service, market trends and employee empowerment.

Publishers Weekly

Heller (The Super Chiefs) is appalled that many large companies are stumbling in the marketplace, and he blames CEOs for clinging to outmoded, "boss"-centered hierarchies. While insisting that CEOs must accept an open, "horizontal" team system to attack this drift, he stresses there is no single cure-all. Effective leaders must accept the challenge of global markets and put in place global managers, while adopting pragmatic measures such as "outsourcing" tasks and reformatting corporate cultures, along with instituting Total Quality Management procedures. The author's message is explicit: reinvent management or perish. Heller's lucid ideas and profiles of major corporations (Intel, Microsoft) enrich this leadership study.

BookList

For 20 years Heller was editor of the London-based business monthly "Management Today", and he still lives and works in Britain. He is also a popular and prolific author, and his more than a dozen books have concentrated on the U.S. business world. His most recent previous work, "The Super Chiefs" (1992), profiled leading top managers at work. In this new book, he similarly uses brief profiles of more than three dozen companies and their leaders to illustrate failures and successes as corporations attempt to cope with and adapt to changes in the world today. His 60 magazine feature-like chapters are grouped into 10 categories representing such major trends as the devolution of authority, restructuring, innovation, and total quality managment. Heller's latest work should prove a popular addition to public library business and management collections
