The Age of Paradox.

A follow-up to the Age of Unreason,
written about five years later when some of the changes Handy had predicted were beginning
to fall into place - but in quite a different way to many expectations, hence the paradox. Handy argues for a more people-centred and human approach to cope
with the paradoxical nature of new business. If you like this book, check out DisOrganization. New 9

The Age of Unreason.

Handy's vision of the development of businesses and employment
is still as fresh as when it came out in 1989. The whole move to core businesses with more
and more of the periphery contracted out (the doughnut model) is clearly outlined, back
when it seemed madness - now it's on the increase and obviously here to stay. Intelligent,
thoughtful business writing. New 9 December 98
Beyond Certainty: the
changing worlds of Organizations.

A collection of 35 essays from Director
magazine, capturing the thoughts of the number one UK management guru in concise form. As always, uncertainty and paradox are at the
heart of Handy's writing - and equally as always he is very readable. US version is hardback. New 9 December 98
The Empty Raincoat.

The leading British business expert looks at the way business has to develop beyond
the drive for shareholder profit. Handy brilliantly assesses the paradoxes we all face in
balancing business and life. An essential for survival in the modern workplace.
The Hungry Spirit.

Handy's writing is always people centred, and this 1998 book focusses particular on
the impact of business life on the individual. He looks at the painful position that the
ever present pressure for profit and climbing the greasy pole puts many of us in, and
offers so real alternatives. If you like this book, check out The
Chameleon Manager. New 9 December 98
