Description
Understanding Management: A Social Science Approach This book presents management theory as applied social science, exploring its roots in various academic branches. Paul Willman argues that management is more cohesive than it appears, with common concerns underlying disparate literatures. Developed from a core management course at Master's level, the text introduces the field to students with little prior knowledge of management. It interprets 'management' broadly, encompassing sub-disciplines such as strategy, finance, accounting, marketing, organisational behaviour and operations management. The book aims to show how these disciplines arose and relate to one another. Accessible to a range of readers, Understanding Management presents technical materials in an informal way, while also being critical in its evaluation of contributions to the management field.
