About the Book

Any manager who has watched their company twist and turn with every new management theory - its ranks successively restructured, downsized and delayered - will immediately empathise with this book. Inchcape PLC is one of the UK's leading global conglomerates, and in pursuit of profitability many of the management fads and fashions of the last 25 years have been consumed in its crucible. This insider account charts the effect of these changes on the group's performance. What emerges is a vivid and entertaining exploration of the relationship between business theory and business practice.
