Part 1 takes the reader from 8000 BCE with the development of simple control techniques to the middle of the nineteenth century. At this time, normative, empirical, and theoretical approaches to business problems in the industrial area were developed. Furthermore, more powerful methodologies came into use. In Part 2, the criteria for science are discussed and related to the development of business administration as a science at the beginning of the twentieth century. Part 3 demonstrates, using Germany as an example, the development of business administration as strongly influenced by its societal environment. The cases of National Socialist Germany, the socialist environment of the German Democratic Republic, and the reconstruction of an academic-inspired business administration in Western Germany are provided as illustrative examples. Part 3 also presents a typology of major specializations in business administration, examples of their development, and a proposal for a curricular approach to the discipline. The fourth and final part presents the benefits of studying the history of management ideas. This book is useful for academics in business administration, advanced students, and anyone who seeks to understand recent developments in business administration. . 410 0$aContributions to Management Science,$x2197-716X 606 $aExecutives$xTraining of 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aManagement 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aManagement Education 606 $aPhilosophy of Management 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 615 0$aExecutives$xTraining of. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 14$aManagement Education. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Management. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 676 $a658 676 $a658 700 $aBrockhoff$b Klaus$0265727 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910591036803321 996 $aManagement Ideas$92912251 997 $aUNINA
