Product Description
In this insightful book, Morgen Witzel charts the evolution of management as an intellectual discipline, tracing its roots from ancient times to the modern day. He examines contemporary management challenges such as sustainability, technology, and data, while also offering historical perspectives on how management ideas have evolved in response to societal changes. This edition incorporates new case studies, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in business schools and beyond.
By presenting management's history as a story of challenge and response, this book provides a unique approach to understanding the field. It is essential reading as a core textbook in management history, and also serves as valuable supplementary material for courses in the humanities and social sciences.
Review
"Witzel has done it again: enlivening every-day management with the almost tangible presence of thinkers from the past; suddenly we know ourselves to be companions of managers, philosophers, and problem-solvers of all times and places. His acute analysis shows why we intuitively recoil from some, or feel a bond with others." – Jonathan Gosling, Professor Emeritus, University of Exeter, UK
"This history illuminates. Witzel’s wonderfully-stuffed sourcebook shows business has always been about people and profit, unchanged in millennia." – J.-C. Spender, Research Professor, Kozminski University, Poland
