The MIT Sloan School of Management perspective on future management
challenges. The MIT Sloan School of Management, as conceived by the
legendary General Motors chairman Alfred P. Sloan, was founded in
1952 to draw on the scientific and technical resources of MIT and
approach the problems of management with the rigorous research
practices for which MIT was famous. Fifty years later, the Sloan
School gathered international leaders in business and management,
MIT faculty, students, and alumni to address again the basic
principles that should guide business and management. This book
presents the papers prepared by student-faculty teams, speeches by
business and world leaders, and summaries of the discussions from
this special convocation; taken together, they offer a guide to the
future of management based on the hallmarks of MIT and
Sloan-creativity and innovation. The topics considered coalesced
around three main themes. First, and paramount, is the necessity of
building and maintaining trust by means of openness, transparency,
and accountability; this was addressed in speeches by Kofi Annan
and Carly Fiorina and exemplified by the case study presented of
Nike's efforts to rebuild the trust of customers. The increasingly
complex conditions of the modern global economy emerged as another
recurring theme, as the participants considered the effect of the
growing spectrum of stakeholders on issues of corporate governance.
The third common theme was the inescapability of technological and
scientific change, from the Internet as a marketing tool to the
organizational impact of information technology.
