|
The Fifth edition of Daniel Wren's classic text provides a comprehensive history of management thought that provides students an understanding of the origin and development of ideas in management. The book traces the evolution of management thought from its earliest, informal days, to the present by examining the backgrounds, ideas and influences of its major contributors. The new edition reflects on the re-emergence of issues in business ethics, corporate governance, and globalization. In addition, Wren includes emerging ideas arising in management thought such as transaction cost theory, agency theory, and the ever-evolving areas of technology.
