Management, Leadership and Operations

👎 Skip It

This is a dense, comparative business-reference volume covering management practices across dozens of countries — genuinely useful as a research resource, but it reads like a textbook, not a book you curl up with. Penny would point students toward it for research, not casual readers looking for inspiration.
