Bücher der Reihe Very Short, Fairly Interesting & Cheap Books

The new edition of this bestselling text is more international, with updated content and examples to explain alternative ways of thinking about management and managing people.

The antidote to heavy-going, complex and lengthy textbooks on studying strategy.

Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to conventional textbooks, each book in the 'Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap' series takes a core area of the curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an informal, conversational and often humorous way.

Ann Cunliffe breathes fresh air into topics that are central to management, organizational behaviour or leadership courses including what managers do, motivation, communication, and ethics and emphasises the importance of relations when thinking about management and drawing on a range of disciplines such as philosophy and linguistics.

Written to challenge, stimulate and inform, this book takes a critical look at the rapidly-growing field of coaching and mentoring.
