Several common management maxims -- often taken for granted as truisms -- are examined and debunked with evidence-based arguments. The constant repetition of these flawed tropes perpetuates their mythological status and limits personal and organizational performance. Eleven management maxims are rebuked using empirical data, original scholarship, literature reviews, field observations, and thoughtful opinions from numerous experts. Far from a business as usual business book, this has been researched with academic rigor yet written in an approachable style. Unafraid of taking on conventional business wisdom, it contains some controversial yet substantiated positions that will provoke critical thinking and debate. After all, sacred cows and long-believed tenets of management lore do not go away quietly. A clear message from this book is that you don't have to believe everything you read or hear-- be it in the classroom or at work! It offers a refreshing break from the constant drumbeat of dronish corporate and academic cliche?s. This book is best appreciated by readers wanting to think critically about important management phenomena. 410 0$aHuman resource management and organizational behavior collection.$x1946-5645 606 $aIndustrial management$vQuotations, maxims, etc 606 $aBusiness$vQuotations, maxims, etc 608 $aLibros electronicos. 610 $abusiness plan 610 $acompetitive advantage 610 $aconsensus decision making 610 $acontrarian 610 $acustomer satisfaction 610 $adiversity 610 $aEnglish language 610 $afailure 610 $ahuman resources 610 $aintrovert 610 $aleadership 610 $amanagement 610 $amission statement 615 0$aIndustrial management 615 0$aBusiness 676 $a658.45 700 $aWayne$b Kevin$0878331 801 0$bFINmELB 801 1$bFINmELB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164036103321 996 $aDeconstructing management maxims$91960768 997 $aUNINA
