Concurrent with the increasing complexity of the field of
management, the need to re-examine the foundations from which its
theories have advanced has become ever more important and useful.
The Oxford Handbook of Management Theorists examines and evaluates
the contributions that seminal figures, past and present, have made
to the theory of management by providing in-depth, up-to-date, and
detailed scholarly analysis of their ideas and influence. Chapters
by leading management and management history scholars explore the
origins of each thinker or school of thought and their ideas, and
discuss the significance and influence in a broader framework. The
Handbook contextualises each theorist and their theories, analysing
their actions, interactions, and re-actions to contemporary events
and to each other. It is arranged in three parts: pioneers of
management thinking from Frederick Taylor to Chester Barnard;
post-war theorists, such as the Tavistock Institute and Edith
Penrose; and the later phase of Business School theorists,
including Alfred Chandler, Michael Porter, and Ikujiro Nonaka. This
book will be essential reading for anyone interested in how and why
management ideas have emerged, and the ways in which they are
currently developing and will evolve in the future.
