Books by Leonard R. Sayles

Managing Large Systems examines a range of human, organizational, and managerial challenges associated with large systems

Schooled to oversee fixed, almost unvarying routines, managers today are unprepared to manage the conflicts in modern work flow relationships. Sayles shows with vivid case studies how middle managers with an in-depth understanding of the organization can resolve the inherent contradictions and ambiguities among design, sales, and manufacturing.
