Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the Frontiers of Management

Description

"This book presents, for the first time, the essential Kanter: a collection of her cutting-edge ideas and wisdom accumulated from two decades of experience, and which hold even more relevance today than they did in the past." - "HR Magazine". This landmark book brings together all of Rosabeth Moss Kanter's "Harvard Business Review" articles and many of the editorial columns she wrote while an editor at "HBR". The pieces span a variety of critical topics: strategy, innovation, customer focus, global trends, planning for change, strategic alliances, compensation systems, and community responsibility-all brought together to enforce a single, timeless message: the importance of treating people as assets, not costs, and providing the tools and conditions that liberate people to use their brainpower to make a difference.
