Features: This book, with over 1 million copies sold worldwide, is Handy's major work. Thirty years later, it remains a teaching text in many universities and companies, and many of its ideas have become the Bible of management. The theme of this book is to explore the core of effective management. Most people working in organizations do not understand what an organization is or how it operates, and as the nature of organizations and the times change, people also have different confusions about how to manage effectively. Handy identifies dozens of variables within organizations and analyzes them one by one, helping readers understand and grasp how to manage an organization. To make the content more engaging, the book also presents interesting case studies and the essence of theories from other management scholars in the form of columns. Those who are full of anxiety about the survival and development of the organization can now relax and re-examine the true meaning of the organization with an open mind.
