He examined commonalities and differences in managing in various contexts, including business, government, health care, and social services. By shadowing twenty-nine managers through a day in their lives, he revealed how managing is affected by many factors and examined the strategies managers adopt to deal with them. Simply Managing is the concentrated version of this book. In it Mintzbergpresents the meat of his arguments and distills the lessons learned in his research.
