Very impressed by the

as short thought pieces, the journal has been designed to reflect

I congratulate you on
your new and exciting publication…
By focusing on philosophy of management in a wider context than
just business the journal opens a whole almost unexplored terrain
where practitioners, on a daily basis, are faced with complex and
seemingly intractable problems. This forum allows them to explore
their concerns and at the same time gives philosophers the
opportunity to use their skills to clarify and sharpen some of the
points of confusion - to the benefit of both….
People in management who are non-philosophers will hopefully read
the contributions by philosophers and so come to realise how
important philosophy can be for clarifying and solving their
problems. And then on the other side, philosophers now have the
opportunity to listen to what non-philosophers have to say and so
turn their attention to actual urgent issues |
