Management Digitaler Plattformen (ZfbF-Sonderheft #75/20)
by Mischa Seiter Lars Grünert Andreas SteurDigitale Plattformen sind mittlerweile ein in vielerlei Hinsicht erforschtes Phänomen. So existieren Beiträge der betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung zu so unterschiedlichen Facetten wie Skalierungsstrategien, Pricing oder dem Wettbewerb zwischen digitalen Plattformen. Dennoch besteht ein Bedarf an Beiträgen, die den bisherigen Stand der Forschung nicht nur referieren, sondern sich insbesondere an einer Übersetzungsleistungsleistung versuchen. Sie tragen dazu bei, den oft beobachteten „implementation gap“ zu überwinden. Dieses Sonderheft gibt daher einen Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand der Forschung zu digitalen Plattformen und behandelt sie aus industrieökonomischer Perspektive. Dabei widmet es sich unter anderem Feedbacksystemen als wichtigen Steuerungsmechanismus digitaler Plattformen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden zwei Fallstudien von Business-to-Business Plattformen, in denen neben den Herausforderungen, auch konkrete Lösungsansätze aufgezeigt und Einblicke in das Vorgehen dieser Plattformen in verschiedenen Entwicklungsstufen erörtert werden.

Management Economics: An Accelerated Approach
by William G. Forgang Karl W. EinolfThoroughly classroom tested, this text is designed specifically for one-semester accelerated and online courses at the upper undergraduate and MBA levels. It is based on the theme that business and personal decisions are made within both micro- and macro-economic environments. By understanding the environments and their effects on outcomes of decisions, better choices can be made. The text also differs from others in the area because it is less theoretical, it provides a broader perspective for management problem solving, and it bridges economics with other business disciplines. Each chapter includes a management decision-oriented case study that applies tools of economic analysis. An online instructors manual is available to professors who adopt the text.
Management Education
by Thomas KlikauerWritten in the tradition of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, this book develops a practical theory designed to humanise management education. Inevitably encountering deeply authoritarian business schools, the author sets the rigidity of curriculum against a student-centred approach found in Honneth's concept of recognition and the Habermasian concept of communicative action. Management Education outlines measures for preventing Managerialism from colonising learning spaces that would prevent the practice of emancipatory learning from flourishing. The aim of the book is to allow students and teachers of business schools to create learning inside an education system based on humanity.

The book provides insights useful for understanding the problems faced by developing nations as they attempt to build modern educational systems in tune with economic realities.
Management Education and Automation (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies)
by Hamid H. Kazeroony and Denise TsangDue to automation, nearly half of the jobs will vanish over the next two decades in the US. However, the problem is not confined to any particular country. Management educators in higher education are faced with two fundamental questions: (a) how we prepare our students for new required technology competencies when conducting international business and (b) how we work with new technologies to prepare our students. While the next generation of employees requires competencies in working with artificial intelligence relying on data analytics, the emergence of artificial intelligence and new technologies in augmenting teaching is changing the nature of higher education across the globe. Management Education and Automation explores international management education in light of exponential development of artificial intelligence, big data, demographic shifts, expansion of robotic utilization in many economic sectors, aging populations and negative population growth in developed economies, multipolar international political systems, migration patterns, and fundamental shifts in individual and social interactions via digital media. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students in the fields of international business and management, globalization, management education, and management of technology and innovation.

Management Education in India
by Manish Thakur R. Rajesh BabuThis volume problematizes different facets of management education in India---pedagogy, curricula, and disciplinary and institutional practices---from the perspective of the Global South. The essays in this volume bring out the institutional challenges of crafting a relevant academic programme that converses with both national specificities and global realities. Coming from diverse academic specializations, the contributors traverse the interface of their respective disciplines with management education. In doing so, they engage with the ongoing global debate on management education. This volume fills a noticeable gap of serious, scholarly reflection on the state of management education. While there have been sporadic reflections and occasional critiques, a critical stocktaking of the institutional and disciplinary aspects of management education has been long wanting. This volume is of interest to scholars and practitioners of management education across the globe, and is likely to generate debate on its contemporary relevance and future trajectory.

by Stewart R. Clegg Carl RhodesEthics has become big business but have businesses become ethical? This is a central question for today’s managers. Managing ethics is critical in an era characterized by unprecedented corporate power and a myriad of competing ethical traditions. Giving new insights into the understanding of ethics for today’s organization practice and managerial behaviour, this timely volume, edited by well-respected industry authorities, provides an overview and critique of ethics as they relate to contemporary challenges and issues (such as globalization, sustainability, consumerism, neo-liberalism, corporate collapses, leadership and corporate regulation). This book, an essential read for postgraduate students of business and ethics, is organized around the core question: What are the ethics of organizing in today’s institutional environment and what does this mean for the practice of management and the organization of business? In response to this, the contributors examine ethics as it is deeply embedded in the everyday practice of management. Interdisciplinary contributions from the fields of sociology, philosophy, management, organization studies and public administration provide unique perspectives, while case studies and real-life examples illustrate the challenges and dilemmas faced in practice.

Management Fads and Buzzwords: Critical-Practical Perspectives
by David CollinsAround 5,000 business and management titles are published every year, and increasingly, their preferred mode of presentation is centred on the creation and marketing of buzzwords and fads. This book argues that these management fads and buzzwords deflect critical inquiry and limit useful action because they present a 'ready made' view of the world, which rejects the benefits of theoretical analysis and reflection. Topics covered include: * the 'guru industry'* 'excellence'* business process re-engineering* empowerment* culture* knowledge work* globalization. 'Unpacking' the 'guru industry' and analyzing the fads and buzzwords, this book provides a 'critical-practical' analysis, designed to allow readers to locate, understand and critique management fashion.
Management Fashions: Turning Bestselling Ideas into Objects and Institutions (Praxiology: The International Annual Of Practical Philosophy And Methodology Ser.)
by Krzysztof KlincewiczUsing the theory of management fashions proposed in the 1990s by Eric Abrahamson, Krzysztof Klincewicz analyzes the changing popularity of management concepts accompanied by solutions. Among these are management bestsellers, consulting services, software systems, methodologies, and approaches to organizational change, training courses, professional certifications and even new corporate positions.The book presents the phenomena of management fashions as being the key driver for the development of the management knowledge industry, consisting of consulting companies, computer firms, publishing houses, professional institutes, and other organizations involved in the launching and the promotion of new management techniques. The author supplements the existing body of knowledge by focusing on the supply-side of management fashions, particularly the strategies and marketing techniques of solution vendors, and proposes a model of relations between management ideas and tangible solutions, explaining how bestselling ideas are turned into objects and institutions.The empirical research described in this volume involves multiple methods, including discourse volume analysis and qualitative historical techniques. Included also is a comprehensive overview of the recent relevant developments in sociology, marketing, and organization sciences, in which the author draws on the heritage of praxiology by taking a meta-level perspective on the propositions of management science.

Management Frameworks: Aligning Strategic Thinking and Execution
by Morgen Witzel Jacques Kemp Andreas SchotterToday’s business organizations, especially large ones, are complex places; difficult to manage and to control. Much of this complexity is self-induced and too much of the management of these organizations is done on an ad hoc basis. Different reporting, control and management systems are used in different parts of the company and often these are incompatible, making it difficult, sometimes impossible for top management to know what is going on. Consequently it is an arduous task for managers to make strategic plans for the business or react quickly to changes in the environment. This book shows how much of this complexity can be smoothed away through the introduction of overarching management frameworks that are complete, consistent and comprehensive; bringing all the various parts of the organization together as a single system. It provides a whole-firm view of management and suggests that reputational and ethical issues are equally important to marketing, operations and finance and need to be considered within the framework. Management Frameworks is a practical and insightful book; offering students the tools and knowledge required for viewing strategy and management holistically. It will be required reading for executive education classes in strategic management and will find a ready audience with thinking managers everywhere.
