The Rise and Fall of Management

Gordon Pearson lectures on the subject matter of The Rise and Fall of Management, within the areas of OB, strategy, business ethics and innovation. The pre-publicity blurb for one recent business school presentation read:

“Management, Economics & Business Ethics:
Discussion of how, throughout management’s history, the theory and practice of management have been compromised by the universal adoption of the Friedmanite version of neo-classical economics and how the resulting custom and practice might be moderated through the adoption of an ethical business stance.
The conflict of interest apparent between business ethics and economics are investigated.”

This gives an indication of the sort of ground covered, intended to be useful to post graduate students of management.
