Why you should read Management Wisdom from the New York Yankees' Dynasty

The New York Yankees are the most successful team in sports history - and a hugely profitable enterprise. With 26 World Series championships, 39 World Series appearances and universal recognition, the Yankees are a model of excellence and consistency that every other major league baseball team tries to emulate. In this in-depth, business-oriented look at baseball’s most storied franchise, author Lance A. Berger, writing with Dorothy R. Berger, explains how the Yankees have dominated baseball. More importantly, the Bergers suggest that any business interested in achieving greatness should study the Yankees’ proven management techniques - these include having a bigger payroll than other teams, but go well beyond just that. Baseball fans - Yankees fanatics, in particular - will appreciate this analysis. getAbstract.com believes this book is a solid play for business owners and executives looking to hit one out of the park.
