Management -the pursuit of objectives through the organization and
co-ordination of people - has been and is a core feature, and
function, of modern society. Some 'classic' forms of corporate and
bureaucratic management may come to be seen as a prevalent form of
organization and organizing in the 20th century, and in the
post-Fordist, global, knowledge driven contemporary world we are
seeing different patterns, principles, and styles of management as
old models are questioned. The functions, ideologies, practices,
and theories of management have changed over time, as recorded by
many scholars; and may vary according to different models of
organization; and between different cultures and societies. Whilst
the administrative, corporate, or factory manager may be a figure
on the wane, management as an ethos, organizing principle, culture,
and field of academic teaching and research has increased
dramatically in the last half century, and spread throughout the
world. The purpose of this Handbook is to analyse and explore the
evolution of management; the core functions and how they may have
changed; its position in the culture/zeitgeist of modern society;
the institutions and ideologies that support it; and likely
challenges and changes in the future. This book looks at what
management is, and how this may change over time. It provides an
overview of management - its history, development, context,
changing function in organization and society, key elements and
functions, and contemporary and future challenges.
