Description
Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. was, by general consensus, the pre-eminent business historian of the twentieth century.
Through a prodigious body of work, Chandler made the study of the evolution of business enterprise integral to the study of the evolution of economy and society.
His work combined detailed historical investigations with grand sociological syntheses.
As a result, Chandler's study of the modern business enterprise invited social scientists and business academics as well as historians to contribute to our understanding of a central institution of our time. Chandler revealed how managerial activity was central to the functioning of successful industrial corporations, and hence to the performance of the economy as a whole.
This book gathers together contributions from management scholars fundamentally influenced by the work of Chandler to discuss management innovation, the ways in which people who exercise strategic control over the allocation of resources put in place organizational structures that can enable an enterprise to prosper and grow.
The volume offers a range of perspectives to examine the challenges that corporate management encounters.
