Management and Strategy

This book is a collection of chapters on management topics ranging from the firm's flexibility to strategy. Each chapter suggests new ways of viewing the firm within the context of a new economy. The new economy calls for the firm to consider integrating flexibility, leadership, followership, and organizational strategy in the workings of a dynamic economic landscape. Because this is a collection of previously published papers related to management, leaders, and strategy, it provides insights into management and organizational theory in the current economic climate. New economic climate begs for new economic thinking and strategic responses to economic trends, forces, and circumstances. This book explores the fundamental managerial literature, but under a new light that serves to engage new questions about the nature of management, leadership, and followership. In this regard, the reader will notice a consistent dynamic theme of managerial adaptiveness to dynamic economic imperatives.
