Management in the new economy

Classic and modernity

editors:

Marcin W. Staniewski and Piotr Szczepankowski

Judging by the sheer number of the articles reviewed in this book, the theoretical analysis of different classic and modern management models and approaches has become a dominant field of researches. It depends on facts, that the management literature is progressing through and combination of data descriptions, informal hypothesis testing, as well as structural test of theory. It is because, on the one hand, management research in the past 20 years has allowed the field to develop a somewhat distinct research identity in terms of issues, questions, and paradigms.

            Three main parts are covered in this book:

1.    Socio-Management.

2.    Human Resources Management.

3.    Tools of Competition.
