Introduction about publication
The 21st century is in witness of the strong development of technology and unpredictable changes in the socio-economic environment around the world. Most recently, the Covid-19 pandemic took place unexpectedly and upset completely the way of functioning of all nations, institutions, businesses and individuals.
The fact shows that, Europe, especially Switzerland and the Nordic countries, develope more sustainably and comprehensively than the rest of the world in spite of sharing the impact of globalization. The latest evidence is that these countries are being rapidly recovered in the context of the “New Normal” while others are still struggling with Covid-19 waves. Is there some new European management knowledge that we have not yet been aware of?
The answer was made by Prof. Fredmund Malik in the title Management: Essence of the Craft through proven practices that have not been accessed by Asian countries because they are public in the countries and territories where German is an official language.
Management method in a new world – the grounds of “mastering” the complexity
Our increasingly complex world cannot function without management, and it can hardly function without precise management. Only management turns resources into results and this is true for all kinds of societal institutions.
In particular, Prof. Malik has shown that success in a complex environment can be attained with appropriate methods and tools. In other words, only “complexity” can solve “complexity”, but “simplification” is not helpful for easy management. Similarly, you cannot translate Shakespeare into another language if your English vocabulary spans 3,000 words.
With new cybernetics-based transdisciplinary approach, this book summarizes the core of right and good management – the only kind of management a principal of a university or director of an orchestra or CEO needs to learn in management of any sector. Right and good management is universal and invariant, just as independent of nations or cultures as is sport. Golf – if played correctly – is played the same way everywhere, as is football; or what Italians do when managing the right way is exactly the same as what Germans do when doing it right.
Based on “The Management Wheel” – an exclusive invention of Prof. Malik, readers will be clearly aware of management as a profession consisting of 05 tasks, 06 principles and 07 key tools, no more, no less to ensure 2 core targets of management: effectiveness (right management) and efficiency (good management).
