Product Description
Synopsis
Modelled as a rediscovered ancient Chinese business text, this book comprises a series of instructional case studies which are set around the workings of a Chinese laundry and restaurant. The case studies are based on simple dualities, such as centralization/decentralization, managing people/managing results, and technology is wonderful/technology is useless. It is firmly grounded in business theory and practice, but is presented in a wry and lighthearted manner, and is aimed at middle and senior managers, students and those interested in business or lighthearted fiction.
From the Author
How to manage while keeping your sense of humo(u)r
We meant this to be a fun adventure in HOW TO MANAGE ORGANISATIONS, motivate people and make a quick buck: the eternal Z/Yen questions. As with many ancient questions, the answers have been locked away in obscure Eastern texts that have only recently re-emerged. At last, these excerpts from The Z/Yen Papers, modernised and re-published as Clean Business Cuisine, reveal to our age the one true path(s) to enlightenment. Today, with the benefit of these teachings, businesses everywhere will thrive and the course of history will be irrevocably improved.

Clean Business Cuisine is a uniquely enjoyable yet informative read, perfect for managers, students and anyone interested in enlightenment. The design of this book is stunning. The book lives happily in the home on bedside, coffee table or bookshelf. Kitchen and washroom are contra-indicated despite the title. Within the bookshop, the business, lifestyle, fiction and humour sections all have good Feng Shui, while the window display has the best energy of all.
Get a grip on the eternal big picture details - and we hope you have a good laugh.
