Abstract

The success of management is dependent upon the understanding and knowledgeof diverse and complex issues and theories. Management and organizations are products of their historical and social times and places. Thus, we can understand the evolution of management theory interms of how people have wrestled with matters of relationships at particular time’s in history. The course “History of management” will examine the development of theories and approaches to management in a historical context. It will acquaint you with the political, economic and social contexts within which ideas about management developed historically. The course will also address the contribution of individual theorists to the development of management ideas, the nature of that contribution and the way these ideas might be used in contemporary organizations.
