In the 1990s there is a trend away from management focused on "optimization" at all costs, to a more selective, "entrepreneurial" approach. Businesses are devising management systems that reproduce the mental processes of entrepreneurs running small businesses. This text provides an interpretation of the management systems being adopted in many successful companies, as well as the trends that are emerging. It looks at examples and contains advice on how to manage effectively. The book offers a model for entrepreneurial business management which takes into account areas such as setting priorities, delegation, working with priorities with operational and strategic consistency, motivation of personnel, and achieving good results. The model guarantees that control processes do not take precedence over operational management and that "entrepreneurial thinking" is not frustrated by an absence of effective procedure and support system
