This guide debunks certain management terms and concepts in an
anecdotal style. For added authenticity, it includes quotes from
managers who rode the wave of particular fads and are now able to
revisit their experiences with the subversive benefit of hindsight.
Management is sometimes taken rather too seriously by commentators
and business analysts. This is an unfortunate tendency, and
provides the focus for this humorous book about management fads,
both past and present. The kinds of management fads that are
covered include: Pareto analysis; TQM; re-engineering; downsizing;
delayering; CCT; performance management; scientific management;
matrix management; chaos theory; empowerment; teamworking; quality;
team briefings; performance-related pay; flat structures; fat
structures; lean structures; MBAs; and management objectives. The
book includes quotations, anecdotes, headings for each fad; an A to
Z glossary and a devil's guide to management language.
