This book concentrates on the impact of American management theories and ideas on the JSM. Taking the historical point of view, it clarifies that impact not only for academics but also for businesspeople. The hypothesis propounded here is that some of those theories and ideas have been accepted whereas some of them have been rejected and eventually made irrelevant. The following issues are discussed: scientific management, the human relations school, Barnard’s organizational theory, Simon’s decision-making theory, Deming’s quality control, Drucker’s management thoughts, strategy, human resource management, and corporate governance.weiterlesen
