This book describes the millennia-long process of the genesis,
formation, struggle, and change of views on the management of
social organizations in various countries around the world; in
other words, it characterizes the worldwide evolution of the
History of Management Thought (HMT) - ideas, concepts, theories,
paradigms, and scientific schools - from Antiquity to the present.
The book is the outcome of extensive research, based on the
analysis, generalization, and systematization of foreign and
domestic published literature, as well as on the gathering and
analysis of unique archival materials. For the first time in the
historical and managerial literature, the book puts forward
original definitions of three historical and managerial sciences -
the History of Management, the History of Management Thought, and
the Historiography of Historical and Managerial Research. It
addresses the main challenges in pursuing Historical and Scientific
Research (HSR), the main "subject" levels of HSR and specific
methodological problems concerning HMT, as well as epistemological
methods for identifying key factors in and causes of the advent and
evolution of HMT. This book presents both the origins of management
thought dating back to the 5th millennium BC and the latest
management concepts of the early 21st century. In particular, it
traces the origins and sources of management thought, reflected in
the works of thinkers and statesmen of the Ancient World (Egypt,
Western Asia, China, India, Greece, and Rome), the era of
feudalism, and the Middle Ages (Byzantium, Western Europe, and
England), the era of inception capitalism (Western Europe and the
USA), as well as the new and recent history of management thought
of the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition, for the first time in
History of Management literature, it presents the history of
Russian management thought from the 9th century to modern concepts
and scientific schools.
