Management budoucnosti – Jirásek Jaroslav A. (2011)

If we consider nearly a million entrepreneurs and the leaders of small, medium, and large enterprises, I am introducing you to those who directly manage about one and a half million people, which is roughly one-seventh of the population of the Czech Republic. It is a large number, but also a great responsibility, requiring considerable knowledge and skills. As specific assistance for managers, Professional Publishing is releasing a book by one of our greatest management personalities, Prof. Jaroslav A. Jirásek, titled 'Management of the Future (First-Line Management)'. The author has embodied his many years of experience in management into this thought-provoking book. He connects the past with the present and shows the directions in which management is heading or will head in the future. Eighteen chapters discuss various aspects of management (competitiveness, corporate strategy, innovation, knowledge society, quality, marketing, price, costs, corporate governance, corruption, organization of the enterprise, people in the enterprise, etc.) and provide many insights and experiences for those who want to manage better. Especially in today's globalized society, complex thinking about the interconnections of management is not only necessary but absolutely essential.
