Prepare a book review for “The Future of Management” by Gary Hamel

When you have completed reading the book, prepare a book review. A book review is an objective or subjective essay about a book; it is NOT a book report. A book review should:

1. Make clear what the author attempted to do and how well it was done.

• Who is the author, and what right has the author to be writing on this subject?

2. Convey an adequate idea of what the book has to offer.

• What are the subject, aim, and scope of the book?

• What seems to be the author’s purpose in writing the book?

• What are the thesis and main arguments?

• How does the book relate to this course? Organizational Theory

3. Leave an impression of the reviewer’s opinion of the book’s quality.

• What are the book’s major strengths and weaknesses?

• What contributions to knowledge/understanding does this book make?

• How does it compare to other books by the same author and/or on the same subject?
