In Search of Excellence describes 8 basic principles that made these organizations successful. Though many of the profiled companies have since lost their edge (or gone under completely), these 8 principles have shown themselves to be timeless: 1) A bias for action, 2) Staying close to the customer, 3) Autonomy and entrepreneurship, 4) Productivity through people, 5) Hands-on, value driven, 6) Stick to the knitting, 7) Simple form, lean staff, and 8) Simultaneous loose-tight properties.
Include Notes and Index
In Search of Excellence has long been a must-have for the boardroom, business school, and bedside table.
Based on a study of forty-three of America's best-run companies from a diverse array of business sectors, In Search of Excellence describes eight basic principles of management -- action-stimulating, people-oriented, profit-maximizing practices -- that made these organizations successful.
Joining the HarperBusiness Essentials series, this phenomenal bestseller features a new Authors' Note, and reintroduces these vital principles in an accessible and practical way for today's management reader.
