Strategic management of public and third sector organizations: A handbook for leaders
Book would be well advised to start with (and stick to?) the ‘Essence’ of Beckhard and Pritchard mentioned earlier.
An American Trade Strategy: Options&r the 1990s, ROBERT Z. LAWRENCE and CHARLES L. SCHULTZE, The Brookings Institute (1990), 234 pp., $20.00. Assesses options for the decade ahead, including multilateral free trade, aggressive bilateralism and managed trade, and evaluates their implications for American policy. Useful background, especially for economists. But what is likely to happen is another question altogether.
Peoplefor Business: The key to success, ROYSTON FLUDE, Graham & Trotman (1991), 185 pp., L35.00. Basic introduction to the human resource strategy.

The Internationalisation of Research and Development by Multinational Enterprises, ROBERT D. PEARCE, Macmillan (1989), 209 pp., A40.00.

ment writing (28 papers) from the past 30 years, much of which is not readily accessible to practising managers today. Very relevant for both practitioners and students. The editor (A Senior Director of McKinsey & Company) recognized one omission, namely no mention (either explicitly or implicitly) of the subject of ‘corporate governance’.
Strategic Management of Public and Third Sector Organizations: A Handbook for Leaders, PAUL C. Nun and ROBERT W. BACKOFF, Jossey-Bass (1992), 486 pp., $25.00. Provides a valuable framework for understanding strategic issues in the public and non-profit sectors, as well as explaining strategic management concepts and describing the process step by step, detailing support techniques, discussing specific case examples and including some useful forms and worksheets. Surprising in 20 pages of references (about 300) not one from Long Range Planning!
The Future of Financial Systems and Services, Edited by (1990), 401 pp., EDWARD P. M. GARDENER, Macmillan A52.50. A collection of 25 essays that provide a systematic collection of views from distinguished scholars and practitioners on the future of financial systems and services. No mention of BCCI!
Strategic Alliances: Formation, Implementation and Evolution, PETER LORANGE and JOHAN Roos, Blackwell (1992), 295 pp., A35.00. Ethics: In Business Now, (1991), 85 pp., A4.99. An introduction’to studies and other
