2002 Oxford Conference Home Page

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. In this context, philosophical scrutiny of its theory and practice and engagement with its issues has never been more necessary. This conference seeks to promote philosophically informed thinking about management in theory and practice worldwide. It 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.
