The Death of Management

More about the book

The book critiques the current state of management in American business, arguing that it has shifted from creating real value to prioritizing short-term profitability through financial maneuvers like outsourcing and downsizing. Jack Buffington contends that this approach jeopardizes both corporations and their employees, as well as the broader U.S. economy. He suggests that innovation and productivity improvement have become neglected, proposing that rather than repairing existing management practices, a complete replacement is necessary for sustainable success.
