Management Laureates A Collection of Autobiographical Essays (Volume 6)

Management Laureates A Collection of Autobiographical Essays (Volume 6)

First published in 2002. This volume compiles the autobiographies of the management discipline’s most distinguished laureates.

Thus the autobiographies in this volume as in the five companion volumes offer the reader not only a glimpse of the subjective determinants and personal experiences of the management discipline’s most distinguished laureates but also a deeper understanding of what management is and what it is becoming. The various accounts reflect a diversity of approaches interests and experiences. | Management Laureates A Collection of Autobiographical Essays (Volume 6)
