Rethinking Management: Theory, Concepts, and Practice

The concept of management is well established and very familiar to scholars and practitioners alike. However, it is also very generic, with no agreed upon definition and no consistency in the demarcation between it and its sub-concepts and other similar terms. Building on an in-depth analysis of literature, this book establishes a precise understanding of management and systematically integrates its sub-concepts of organization, governance, strategic management, human resource management, leadership, and organizational culture. It thus provides a clear theoretical and conceptual framework, helping researchers to theorize and practitioners to implement corporate management models.
