Infos

By interlacing the threads of managerial development through the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries, from capitalist managerialism to the emergence of management consultancy and management education, with particular focus on the American context, this book sheds light on the opportunities, challenges, and pitfalls facing the modern manager today. Especially relevant to aspiring managers seeking to learn more about business, serious questions are asked about management education and its provision. Providing an expose on (and denunciation of) managerial fallacies, management failures, academic treachery, and greed, the author directly addresses the need for professional managers, to cope with the challenges on this planet to come. With a deep historical knowledge, breadth of vision and equally intellectually daring insight, the author offers the keys not only to an understanding of how we have reached our current position, but more importantly, how we might progress from here. This book sets the tone and heralds the need for real, practical, decisive change, leading to a more ethical, sustainable future.
