内容説明

The concept of one managerial be-all and end-all theory and dogmas regarding management practice are long gone. Vast knowledge is constantly being assimilated regarding managerial approaches and practices. In this book the author introduces the SCIM: Subjective Conceptual Integrative Management approach. This formula links the chapters and the various issues discussed therein. The theories of this approach evolved gradually during the author's experience gained in the course of his work in executive positions in industry and management, in marketing and industrial engineering, and as consultant for the government, for public organizations, for established corporations as well as entrepreneurial start-ups. The problems that arose necessitated forming a methodical, yet adaptable, flexible and unorthodox management approach that resulted in SCIM: to enable one to cope with change, exploit it successfully, and translate it into sustained profitability. The contents of the book reflect the framework issues facing management today. Each issue is distinct in itself, requiring its own expertise and recognition of its variables, yet at the same time being a part of the broader life-business reality. The book has been designed for independent advanced training and emphasis has been placed on case studies, supplemental reading and references. It is a combination of textbook and reference book, pointing to experts and sources, and a handbook/guidebook for laying down possible paths for implementation. The book is structured into 10 sections. Each section, and the chapters therein can be read independently. Thus the reader can, assisted by the table of contents and the subject index compile a new book for himself by forming different combinations of the sections and chapters according to his specific areas of interest at any given time. Extensively illustrated with diagrams and flow charts, checklists and worksheets, the book will prove indispensable to the manager in preparing his own implementation aids.
