Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book examines conflict in a corporation that has embraced an increasingly popular style of management, one that rejects rigid bureaucratic authority. The main finding is surprising and enlightening. People most often handle conflict with therapy, a behaviour usually thought to be confined to the offices of psychiatrists and the wards of mental hospitals. This kind of therapeutic order contrasts sharply with the more authoritative, often violent order found in more centralized and hierarchical work settings especially those of the past.
MoreLong description:
A growing number of contemporary organizations have management structures that are less centralized and hierarchical than the traditional bureaucratic model. This book takes a close look inside one such organization: an employee-owned manufacturing corporation. It addresses the question of how conflicts are handled when bureaucracy is greatly reduced--and its findings will surprise and enlighten many readers. Therapy, a behaviour or practice normally thought to be confined to the offices of psychiatrists and the wards of mental hospitals, turns out to be the most common way of handling conflict in the postbureaucratic work environment. James Tucker reveals that this therapeutic system of social control contrasts sharply, and tellingly, with the more authoritative--often violent--systems of social control found in more centralized and hierarchical work settings, especially those of the past.
