The Death of Modern Management is a how-to guide for surviving
and thriving amidst the new uncertainties of contemporary business.
"...a joyride through new ideas, memorable stories and superb
writing." Philip Kotler
"Jo Owen gives a fascinating insight into how 21st century
management now works. It is helpful to have someone with his
experience, intellect and vision explain the radical changes in a
way that makes sense and is immediately usable."
Juliet Hope, CEO, Startup
“Jo Owen delivers a robust and wide-ranging assault on the
delusions of management, strategy, finance and marketing that have
created an aura of justified mistrust around the modern corporation,
but does so with wit, lucidity and lots of enlivening illustrations.
The answers for 21st century business are helpfully accessible.”
Professor Nigel Nicholson, London Business School, author of
Managing the Human Animal and Family Wars

thinking." Director Magazine
