In many countries of the world there is a growing feeling of
uneasiness about the economic situation and its related social
consequences. Every day the newspapers tell us that the recession
is over, but we see only that scores of organizations go bankrupt,
while others are struggling hard to stay in business; that many
people have lost their jobs, but welfare measures are being reduced
or abolished altogether. By now we should have become aware that
our society is not facing temporary market difficulties, but a much
deeper and wider crisis with only one root in worldwide economic
developments, while other roots are social and psychological in
nature. These factors are intertwined, and therefore the answer to
the crisis cannot merely be an economic cost-benefit analysis of
organizational management. Sociocultural factors participate in the
economic process even at the level of individual organizations, and
what happens in them has backlash influences on the entire society.
Therefore the problem is not the management of the individual
organization, but the macroconception of management, which in the
Western world of today separates the economic aspects from the
social ones, and the individual organizations from society. Social
and Economic Management in the Competitive Society begins by
analyzing the management models of today to determine which
characteristics yield the best results on the economic and social
levels. The second step is to indicate the necessary changes of
managerial thinking and acting, in order to boost economic results
with reasonable profits while minimizing social costs. Finally, the
potential ramifications of such changes are explored.
