Management is no matter of ideology, nor is it a question of fashion. Management is a craft - the universal and most important discipline of the 21st century. Fredmund Malik, the leading expert in the field of general management, provides you with the knowledge it takes to be a successful executive and manager, in any position, within any organisation. Good management at the top level does not mean busying oneself with any task imaginable, but instead establishing an order which gives the system a firm inner structure. In this part, Fredmund Malik explains how leaders can apply the Master Controls to themselves and how they can develop a responsible corporate policy fit for managing complexity. Fredmund Malik's theory is system-oriented and can thus be applied regardless of time or place. It is designed to work in all areas and industries of any society, irrespective of changing trends or national and cultural differences. Taking as his point of departure the consistent traits displayed by complex systems - phenomena that executives and managers are likely to address on a daily basis - Malik sets the standard for sound management in a knowledge-based economy.
