Description

This text takes a very critical look at management fads and fashions and shows that many do not stand up to scrutiny. It is believed for example that coaching is successful. What is the evidence for this? Selection procedures at interviews result in the right candidate being selected. Again what is the evidence? Adrian Furnham shows that many fads and fashions in management are short-lived and based upon flimsy evidence yet enjoy a period of support. His is a useful tool for managers who want to understand the substance and rigour or lack of it associated with modern management ideas and concepts.
