Good management in theory and context: What makes a good manager?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: Pass with merit, The Open University, Veranstaltung: B830 - Making a difference, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: My discussion centres around the argument that there were generally agreed answers to the question of 'what makes a good manager?' in the air before the series of prominent management failures such as Enron, HypoRealEstate, Schlecker and others, often in the form of one-fits-all recipes. Today, managers have to find less straight-forward answers. Fortunately, well-developed theories and frameworks can help them do so even if these models are not answers in themselves.
