In Great Minds in Management, Ken G. Smith and Michael A. Hitt have
brought together some of the most influential and original thinkers
in management. Their contributions to this volume not only outline
their landmark contributions to management theory, but also reflect
on the process of
theory development, presenting their own personal accounts of the
gestation of these theories.
The result is not only an ambitious and original panorama of the
key ideas in management theory presented by their originators, but
also a unique collection of reflections on the process of theory
development, an area which to date little has been written about by
those who have actually had
experience of building theory.
In their concluding chapter, Ken G. Smith and Michael A. Hitt draw
together some common themes about the development of management
theory over the last half a century, and suggest some of the
conclusions to be drawn about how theory comes into being.
