Description

This volume explores new approaches to the science of management. The essays are grounded in general management theory. However, at the same time, they have a strong orientation toward practical applications. Together they provide a foundation for further creativity and innovation in management practice and management science. The volume is divided into seven sections. The first sets forth new approaches to accounting and control. This is followed by an examination of computer and decision support systems. The third section looks at resource management - human, economic and financial; while the fourth highlights new approaches to organisation design. Part five deals with industry and economy studies. Parts six and seven provide methodological contributions to the science of management.
