The Death Knell Tolls for Modern Management

Modern management is dying under the weight of its own contradictions. The old order is giving way to a new world disorder. The revolution is happening before our eyes. So what now? Bestselling business author Jo Owen has penned a guide to the dazzling and dangerous new world – The Death of Modern Management: How to Lead in the New World Disorder. 

In it he explains how the easy certainties of the past are over. Modern management’s simplistic formulas have led to self-defeating conformity. We follow the latest fad but nothing improves because all our competitors are doing the same thing.

  • Technology promises freedom but delivers slavery.
  • Power is shifting from producers to consumers, from the West to the East, from shareholders to executives.
  • Marketing has to make dreams, not just profits.
  • Smart finance leads to crises not profits.
  • Managers need to manage, not just consult grids.

Leaders need to make things happen fast. The Death of Modern Management shows readers how to turn risk into opportunity and succeed where others struggle.
