Management. Tasks, responsibilities, practice

Management. Tasks, responsibilities, practice

Book Description

This classic management book has been created for thirty years. This is the result of the author's teaching management science at universities and within the framework of specialized programs and seminars for managers, as well as the result of his close and fruitful cooperation with practical managers: over the years he has been a consultant to a number of business companies, government organizations, hospitals and schools. Drucker describes in his book the tools and methods of effective management that have proven their effectiveness, and makes it clear and accessible language. In this book, the author has tried to describe everything we have learned about management at the moment, but its purpose is much broader. It also presents those areas that we did not have time to learn, but which are vital for us. The purpose of the book is also to develop approaches to solving problems that we have not yet found answers to; it explores policies, principles and practical techniques that will help managers solve specific management tasks. This book is an attempt to equip a modern manager with the understanding, way of thinking, knowledge and skills necessary to work in an organization today and tomorrow. This book focuses on the manager as a person; on how people act and what they achieve. But it constantly attempts to link tasks with the people who perform them. Tasks are by nature objective and impersonal. Tasks are performed by managers, i.e. they are the ones who set goals and work to achieve them. Management as a job involves the availability and use of specific skills, tools and methods. Many of them are discussed in this book, and some of them are quite detailed.
