Management mumbo-jumbo : a skeptics' dictionary

See all formats and editions

Bestselling author and psychologist, Adrian Furnham, takes a critical and challenging view of the jargon and current fads in management contained in manifestos, mantras and mission statements and shows how these often obscure and mystify.

In this latest book he turns his sceptical attention to such topics as atmospherics, blame culture, compulsory training, fundamentalist gurus, integrity tests, networming, personality of organizations and uncertainty avoidance.
