Editorial Review:
Management models - love them or hate them, they're at the heart of management thinking and practice. They have two main purposes: to provide a framework for improving business performance; and to confuse the uninitiated with buzzwords and acronyms. You've heard of balanced scorecards, CRM, just-in-time and SWOT? How about the Deming cycle, parenting advantage or socio-technical organizations? Even if you have, can you describe them clearly and do you know how you can use them in your business? Key Management Models takes the reader through each of the essential management tools in a clear, structured and practical way. It provides comprehensive coverage of the main tools, and of the models developed by the Gods of management thinking: Belbin, Handy, Kotter and Mintzberg.

A guide to what you should go deeper 2007-09-06
The book "key management models" is an useful guide to 90% of the most read and applied administration philosophy. Is is both a good starting point to understand the context and a way to refresh your memory for the ones that have read it decades ago.
But one should not expect to learn it all from this book as it summarizes a 200 pages book in 3 pages.
Finally the last comments on the application of the philosophy are fair and, from my experience on some of the topics, very close to the day-to-day business reality.
