Nick wrote to me overnight asking: I need some help, I'm looking for some interesting sites on management styles and culture. Or any useful information would be great or sites. Thanks Nick I normally insist that whoever writes to me asking for help tells me a bit about who they are and what they want; but since this follows on from my chat with LWL of earlier this week, I let Nick through; and here are my suggestions. Dear Nick, Take a look at these and see if they help: http://www.management-culture.com/index-page2.htm ... sells itself as MBA level http://stress.about.com/library/weekly/aa021901a.htm?terms=new ... maybe a page to start you off by the look of it http://www.noworkviolence.com/articles/corporate_culture.htm ... culture but with a security emphasis, may be useful http://rnb.cuesta.com/c/@3FKlpz.alRMKY/Pages/culturefit.html ... culture with a link to http://rnb.cuesta.com/c/@3FKlpz.alRMKY/Pages/news_itn_love.html which is a potentially useful article; and look out for the links on the left of this page that might inspire you too http://www.lmi.org/Careers/culture.htm ... one company's own culture A three part series of articles on management style: 1 http://managementlearning.com/art/persmyao/index.html 2 http://managementlearning.com/art/persrjob/index.html 3 http://managementlearning.com/art/persrdes/index.html and from the same site here is an introduction to some of the key issues you are probably looking at http://managementlearning.com/topi/mngtstyl.html including Herzberg, Hawthorne Studies, Renis Likert and more You should also search for Japanese management styles, American management styles and so on and maybe do searches for comparisons of styles across the world http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/bm_model.html ... the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid might be useful for you: gets you to identify the type of manager you are ... worth a look if you don't know it I can't find the link for the Oxford School of Learning but that has a couple of pages in this area aimed at A level (UK pre University students) that is the best summary of management thinking I have seen in a long time. Interested in the classics such as Herberg and Maslow? Do a serach such as herzberg, maslow and you'll find such pages as http://ericae.net/pare/getvn.asp?v=5&n=11 ... looks like a great starter to me, with some good comparisons to chew over Well, there you are. Finding those pages took me around 10 - 15 minutes and I hope you find them useful. I'm not sure of the level you want so if some of these are not useful, please disregard them or let me know how I can refine my search for you. Best wishes Duncan Williamson DW
