Purpose
|
Management as a set of ideas, a
function and a group has never been more influential or visible and
the complexity and impact of its work continues to grow across
cultures. Since the 2002 Conference corporate scandals and failures
and renewed protests over globalisation have served only to increase
concerns at the powers and responsibilities
of managers in some sectors and cultures. In this
context, philosophical
engagement with management theory
and practice and the issues managers face has never been more
necessary.
This Conference will provide an
opportunity for theorists and practitioners to present new work in
the philosophy of management, engage with
philosophical and practical issues in management within and across
cultures and experience the power of philosophical skills and methods in practice.
