Management is a fragmented and interdisciplinary area of study,
with a lot of academic branches. Willman argues this tree is
narrower at its roots, and these roots lie primarily in social
science. Key to the purpose of the book is to present management
theory as applied social science. Developed out of a core
management course at Master's level, this book introduces the field
to students who may have little prior knowledge of management.
Willman interprets 'management' broadly to embrace the
sub-disciplines of strategy, finance, accounting, marketing,
organisational behaviour and operations management. The text aims
to show how they arose and how they relate, thus engaging the
reader in a little history. The book is integrative, in that it
seeks to find common concerns in disparate literatures. It is also
critical in that it seeks to comparatively evaluate contributions
to the management field both in terms of theoretical contribution
and practical impact. It is intended to be accessible to a range of
readers, presenting technical materials in an informal way.
Finally, it is introductory in that it assumes no previous
knowledge of the academic management field.
