Rights Sold: Zhongyue - China

Implementing a New Management Paradigm for Living, Working, and Leading in the Quantum Age

This new book is a culmination of Danah Zohars influentialand originatingwork on Quantum Management Theory. Zero Distance is not just another business book and Quantum Management Theory not just another business theory." It is the first organizational theory to offer a comprehensive, theoretical framework for fundamental change in the way we think about management, one grounded in science and scientific understanding and organizational systems dynamics. It offers an over arching understanding of why business leaders face the problems they do, why their familiar solutions are not working, and the fundamentally new thinking they need to adopt if they are to find better solutions and more creative responses to the many new problems and opportunities presented by 21st century realities. Quantum Management is a management paradigm which places many recent, but more piecemeal, management ideas stressing purpose, authentic leadership, or more human-centered companies in its wider, allembracing context.

Praise -----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a terrific book. It is a stark reminder that connectivity and uncertainty go hand-in-hand, and that the best managers will nurture small self organized teams and challenge them to produce extraordinary results rather than commanding top down. The exemplars of quantum management are extraordinary, from the U.S. military to Roche India to the China-based Haier Group. I found the text very stimulating. --Marshall Meyer, Tsai Wan-Tsai Professor Emeritus of Management and Sociology, Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania.
