Format:Paperback
This book provides short introductions to the world's top management thinkers (see below). In alphabetical order, each chapter begins with a summary of their key ideas (roughly one page long), then goes into a bit more detail in the body text and finishes with a list of 'Key Writings' with dates and publishers (good for further reading). Ideal for students or those new to management roles who want to engage in conversations with more widely read peers - and, of course, apply some these world-class ideas.
