Have a project to compare two books on Management. They have to be 20 years apart and I'd prefer they weren't too long since the assignment is only supposed to be 500-600 words (although its 4% of my grade). Also, can't be any of the parable-type books (Fish, One Minute Manager, Who Moved my Cheese, etc.) Any ideas?

Can't you read any management book in an hour just by flipping through all the chapter headings anyway?

How about picking one of the icons of the genre, like Peter Drucker and comparing it to a new book. Maybe something like Good to Great.

Whatever you do, it sounds painful. But if you pick Drucker, you can probaby find some online summaries that will save you the time of actually reading it.
