Lean production... Total Quality Management...
Meritocracy... These are just a few of the management concepts
and innovations that, upon their adoption, became some of
the basic drivers of productivity and profitability growth
in today's marketplace. The Power of Management Capital
is about each of them; it is also about the management innovations
that don't yet exist. Because, more than just the innovations
themselves, this groundbreaking book is about the systematic
management and leadership models that "pacesetter"
companies are using today to consistently breed such innovations.
It is about the next great wave of corporate dominance --
innovation in business management and leadership -- and
the difficulties that await competitors who refuse to abandon
the "It worked yesterday" mentality.
Armand Feigenbaum -- the hands-on visionary
widely regarded as the founding father of the global quality
imperative -- teams with his brother and fellow business
executive Donald Feigenbaum to outline a rule book for management
and leadership innovation in the 21st century. Follow their
simple yet profound logic to discover:
Proven strategies for systematically --
instead of intermittently -- integrating management processes
with information technologies;
Examples of how Japan constructed a world-class
economic powerhouse, and lessons to be learned from its
"correction"
Ten worn-out management doctrines that are
no longer helpful -- and could prove harmful -- in navigating
today's economy
Rarely does one book have the intellect
and authority to effectively change business and the way
business is both approached and conducted. Over 50 years
ago, one such book -- Total Quality Control -- gave
its earliest readers an invaluable and stunningly prescient
look at what businesses and their executives would need
to succeed during the remainder of the 20th century. In
The Power of Management Capital, that book's world-renowned
author now trains his vision on management and leadership
in the 21st century. The insights he provides, and the changes
he recommends, should prove even more valuable to a new
generation of business decision-makers.
