Making of Modern Management

British Management in Historical Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The authors provide a historical account of the evolution of modern management in the UK. The book draws on archival and secondary sources and addresses such issues as the particular context of management in the UK; the development of management as a profession; management and economic performance; and the spread of management education and ideas.

Management has always been part of human organization, but it is only in the last two centuries or so that it has been the central driver of economic activity, as companies have moved from family firms to hugely complex, multinational corporations with many layers of management.
