An Interesting Read......


I was doing some research recently and came across this book which I think is quite good as (which the inside cover also pitches) it "demystifies the essential concepts that any entrepreneur, manager or student of business must grasp".

It's concise, bite-sized and easy to digest and is really good for an introductory overview.

Some the 50 management ideas include:-
1) Adhocracy
2) Balanced Scorecard
4) Blue Ocean Strategy
13) Costs of Complexity
17) The 80:20 Principle
18) Empowerment
20) Experience Curve
21) The Five Forces of Competition
28) Lean Manufacturing
30) The Long Tail
43) Systems Thinking
45) Tipping Point
49) Web2.0
50) What business are you really in?

If you would like to find out more, here are the details
