Evolution of Management Thought

Ronald N. Hayes Press

The seventh edition of author Daniel Wren's and Arthur Bedeian's classic text provides a comprehensive understanding of the origin and development of ideas in management.&nbsp;This text traces the evolution of management thought from its earliest days to the present, by examining the backgrounds, ideas and influences of its major contributors.&nbsp; Every chapter in the seventh edition of&nbsp;The Evolution of Management Thought&nbsp;has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to convey an appreciation of the people and ideas underlying the development of management theory and practice.&nbsp;The new edition includes an Instructor's Manual and a PowerPoint package featuring 650 photographs, charts, and other visual materials. The authors' intent is to place various theories of management in their historical context, showing how they've changed over time.&nbsp;The text does this in a chronological framework, yet each part is designed as a separate and self-contained unit of study; substantial cross-referencing provides the opportunity for connecting earlier to later developments as a central unifying theme.
