By providing insights into the challenges of management Young combines organization theory and case studies with knowledge to drawn specifically from the world of music. This key text covers how we think about organizational management, how organizations work, how management challenges can be addressed, and how organizational behaviour can be better understood in alternative contexts. Four specific management challenges are analyzed: coordination, work force motivation, market positioning, and managing change and innovation. These distinct management challenges are combined into an overall consideration of achieving organizational excellence. This work is a must for academics, practicing managers, students and teachers.
