Management Book Review Assignment: "Management by Best Seller" occurs when managers read a popular book by a management guru and hastily try to implement its ideas and one-size-fits-all recommendations without proper regard for the organization's unique problems and needs. The quick-fix mentality that fosters this problem can be avoided by remaining current with management literature from the field, ensure that the concepts are applied based on science rather than advocacy, be willing to examine and implement new concepts after study, be skeptical when simple solutions are offered, and constantly anticipate the effects of current actions and events on future results.

That being said, "Management by Best Seller" merits serious discussion in the perspective that it has wide-spread acceptance among practicing managers.
