How far can the thinking of the great management "gurus" be applied to the UK's public sector? How can the busy manager learn something about the practical pros and cons of the management concepts promoted by the likes of Tom Peters, Peter Drucker and Charles Handy? "Gurus for Government" has been written specifically with these questions in mind. Using his own experiences as a practising manager and consultant, Alan Fowler guides the reader through the potential pitfalls of applying theory largely based on the studies of sizeable US companies to the UK public sector - which is so culturally and structurally different. The result is an overview of the voluminous management literature.
