The 21st-century global business environment is complex and challenging, with businesses rising and falling based on various factors, particularly management. Effective management is crucial for success, yet it is often messy and lacks a straightforward guide. While undergraduate and graduate management programs provide foundational knowledge and advanced strategies, real learning occurs through experience. Managers gain valuable insights from both their successes and failures. This book presents a collection of management failures through case studies, illustrating how poor decisions and unresolved organizational or interpersonal issues can impact businesses. The aim is not to embarrass or pity managers but to use these experiences as teaching moments. Each case study encourages critical thinking about management issues and offers guidance on avoiding similar pitfalls. Designed to complement management and leadership courses, the book includes scenarios, discussion questions, and expert analyses from the authors, who draw from a combined 125 years of management experience. Some stories are well-known failures reported in the media, while others stem from the authors' personal experiences. By sharing these insights, the authors hope to provide valuable lessons and tools for current and future managers.
