Management Golf
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-57444-105-5 (ISBN)
Management Golf has been arranged to resemble a round of golf: 18 of the most important business factors were selected to match the 18 holes in a golf game. Topics such as technology, strategy, resources, finance and customer service each get a score, and a graphic layout of each hole is shown at the end of each chapter. When you're done playing the game, it's time to figure out your handicap-the factors you need to work on to get your company playing "above par."
Once you know your score and your handicap, you can address the real challenge of this book-using what you've discovered about the inner workings of your company to boost innovation and creativity among your management team and make the business run better than it ever has before. As a game, Management Golf is great fun. As a self-assessment tool for your business, it's invaluable!

Dr. Michael J. Kami was the chief strategic planner for two small companies that made good: IBM and Xerox during their super-growth years. He retired young and moved to Florida many years ago. But he couldn't just stand still. He became a one-man mini-conglomerate: a combination consultant, writer, public speaker, motorcycle rider, publisher, boats man and entrepreneur. During the past ten years, he has served as a consultant on the board of directors of Harley-Davidson, during its successful transformation. He is considered one of the leading business advisers in the world and has been featured in many magazines and publications in the United States and abroad. He is knowledgeable, down-to-earth and tells it as it is. Peter Drucker and Tom Peters called him the best planner they know. His latest books, Management Alert: Don't Reform, Transform! and Management Golf: What's Your Handicap?, have become compulsory reading for managers. His quarterly publication Kami Strategic Assumptions provides timely advice to top executives in the United States and abroad. William Martz specializes in the installation of management systems which include strategic planning, operational management, information systems and organization development. He holds A.B., M.B.A.,and J.D. degrees. He has worked with companies in a variety of industries, including service, manufacturing, retail and associations. His market focus has-been on the so-called non-Fortune 500 companies. His list of clients is diverse, ranging from the National Association of Securities Dealers to Eckrich Food Products. The nature of the service he provides is the application of the management process in real-life organizational situations. He uses a hands-on approach, not a consulting report and recommendation method. This approach includes regular monthly visits with clients, spread over a number of years, so that the clients can assimilate management principles and install them as best practices in their own organizations.
