Summary: A scholarly study of the history of NASA's Management
Review: NASA is a particularly well documented example of a high profile organization with a history of successful management, so students of management study it. In fact, NASA studies itself. Particularly after several recent spectacular failures there is interested in studying how NASA is managed and comparing it to how it was managed during its heyday. This is such a study, drawing on NASA's internal records.

This is not a light or casual read. This book is intended as a serious study of management operation and evolution. Suitable to people studying a course in management it is not something you would choose to read in bed.
