This book systematically expounds on the time-space theory of leadership and management, emphasizing that leaders and managers must understand, analyze, design, and make decisions about organizations from both temporal and spatial perspectives in a multi-level, multidimensional, and dynamic manner. They should adopt actions and measures to achieve excellent organizational performance, as well as maintain sustainable survival and healthy and harmonious development. This book consists of eight chapters, systematically elaborating on the time-space theory of leadership and management from aspects of the overall framework, spatial layer analysis, spatial dimension analysis, time dynamics analysis, spatiotemporal (layerdimensional-dynamic) comprehensive analysis, spatiotemporal interaction analysis, competitive interaction analysis, and spatiotemporal effectiveness analysis of the theory.
