A publisher in Britain has recently come out with a good book on business management entitled "Leadership and Management in the 21st Century: Business Challenges of the Future," by author Cary L. Cooper. Apropos title.

Cooper's book discusses, among other things, what sort of management style will work best for the growing businesses of the next ten years. There may be a number of possible models for development, but Cooper emphasizes that either a group of self-employed professionals coming together and then splitting after a project or that of investors choosing their management are good designs for the future.

These two models are put forward by Hamish McRae - one of 22 authors, leading management academics, economists and industrialists - who are brought together by Professor Cooper to explore changing management and leadership styles in the 21st century.
