Management history: an umbrella model
Abstract
Purpose
To assist colleagues in tying current ideas to previously established practices. To generate discussion of the current relevance of students' understanding management history.
Design/methodology/approach
A review of representative classic theorists with an eye toward matching their behavior to that of current newsmakers. This is presented in a model to insure that like areas are compared.
Findings
The past is in the present. Although we may live in the day of “enlightened” “collaborative” management; there are still successful people who operate differently.
Practical implications
Readers of the paper will be able to make immediate application of the model.
Originality/value
Even presentation of the obvious has value. The model format is a dynamic document that others can use and improve upon.
