Not operational excellence, technology breakthroughs, or new business models, but management innovation—new ways of mobilizing talent, allocating resources, and formulating strategies. Through history, management innovation has enabled companies to cross new performance thresholds and build enduring advantages. In The Future of Management, Gary Hamel argues that organizations need management innovation now more than ever. Why? The management paradigm of the last century—centered on control and efficiency—no longer suffices in a world where adaptability and creativity drive business success. To thrive in the future, companies must reinvent management. Hamel explains how to turn your company into a serial management innovator, revealing: Practical and profound, The Future of Management features examples from Google, W.L. Gore, Whole Foods, IBM, Samsung, Best Buy, and other blue-ribbon management innovators. Average Rating:

Rating: - The Future is What You Will Make ItThis is an interesting book. While the title says "The Future of Management," the book is about more than just management.

In today's Web 2.0 environment, Gary Hamel argues that our current command - control type of management practices are actually toxic to organizational success and excellence. ...

Change Your ManagementHamel makes a compelling argument in pointing out the lack of innovation that has occurred to our fundamental management principles constructed well over half a century ago. While technology and the speed of business have rapidly changed in the past fifty years, the way companies are organized and managed has not. This is problematic because, like with anything else, there must be change and innovation for companies to continue to be successful. The book points out several examples of top companies ...
