"Everything in business has changed significantly over the last several decades, but there's a sense that management as a principle is foundational and therefore doesn't require constant evolution. In Evolution of Management Practice, a group of the smartest management thinkers and practitioners offer a 21st century framework for management."Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. President & CEO, SHRM, Society for Human Resource Management "There doesn't seem to be a single industry that AI will not impact in a significant way in the future and it already has in many. Leaders and management will be required to understand the full depth and breadth of the changes on the horizon and be prepared to transform their current strategies. Evolution of Management Practice picks up on these changes and begins to put in place a new framework of management."Mike Srdanovic, SVP Chief AI Architect, Northern Trust "A must read for leaders and managers who wish to mobilize their organizations in today's contemporary landscape. Today, organizations are asked to do more than ever in response to social needs such as sustainability goals, rapidly advancing disruptive technologies, and better digital data access and management. Contemporary management practice faces these fast-paced shifts in real time. Evolution of Management Practice is a beautifully edited book by a diverse group of authors that provides entrepreneurs, managers, policymakers, and scholars with fresh perspectives on shaping the future of management."Dr. Sharon Alvarez, Thomas Olofson Endowed Chair in Entrepreneurial Studies Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh, Fellow, Strategic Management Society Immediate Past President, Academy of ManagementMore details
