World-renowned business expert Gary Hamel (strategic and international management, London Business School) argues that operational excellence and new business models are not the keys to long-term business success, but rather success lies in management innovation in terms of mobilizing talent, allocating resources, and building strategies. He offers managers insights into how to break away from the current, out-of-date management model to become 21st-century management pioneers, prepared to reinvent the principles, processes, and practices of management for the postmodern age.
