In this new edition of the standard in the field, Professor Wren traces the development of management thought from its earliest days to the present, emphasizing outstanding management thinkers, their ideas, and the eras in which they lived. He uses a chronological approach to demonstrate the evolutionary nature of management theory and practice, and shows how assumptions about people and organizations change with shifting economic, social, and political values and institutions. He summarizes the function of the manager and discusses the history of management as a prologue to the future.
