Description

"Managerial Excellence" presents some of the best ideas and practices of the past 15 years from the leading management voices of our time, including William J. Abernathy, Kim B. Clark, David A. Garvin, Charles Handy, Gary Hamel, Robert H. Hayes, James Moore, Michael Porter, C.K. Prahalad, James Brian Quinn, Wickham Skinner, and George Stalk, Jr. Since 1959, the McKinsey Foundation for Management Research has awarded prizes for the two best articles published each year in the "Harvard Business Review". The pieces in this collection - all first place winners - are distinguished by their relevance to the real work of managers. From Hayes and Abernathy's Managing Our Way to Economic Decline in 1980 to Good Communication That Blocks Learning by Chris Argyris in 1994, these articles cover the gamut of strategic issues facing companies today and into the future.
