In an article Reading for Managers, (Education & Training July/August 1974), Terry Farnsworth recommended an instant bibliography. He wrote:.. it is doubtful whether more than 10 per cent of practising managers have ever read a book on management… His recommendations were of considerable merit, yet one wonders if they will perceptibly increase that proportion.
