Management Ideas

Beginning with the evolution of control techniques from 8000 BCE to the 19th century, the book explores the emergence of normative, empirical, and theoretical approaches in business administration. It examines the establishment of business administration as a science in the early 20th century and highlights the societal influences on its development in Germany, including the impacts of National Socialism and socialism. The text also categorizes major specializations within the field and advocates for the importance of studying the history of management ideas.
