Publisher's Synopsis
The discipline of management has, in the 1980s, gone through an upheaval paralleled only by that which the business world itself has undergone. Sterile traditional fields have been supplanted in terms of vitality and importance by new fields taking up the challenge of presenting management ideas.;This book examines the problems created by the massive increase in relative competitiveness which business faces, and demonstrates that they can only be tackled by taking an interdisciplinary approach. Developed from the Inaugral Conference of the British Academy of Management hosted by Warwick University in 1987 the book is a state-of-the-art analysis of new directions for management to the turn of the century.
