This subject exposes students to the wide variety of frames of reference that underlie management literature and helps them to develop the critical skills necessary to understand, interpret and evaluate this literature. The broad knowledge and interpretive skills gained are useful to students in all other management subjects as well as in the practice of management. Topics covered range from the rise of modern management, through to post-modern concepts of management and organisation, and include a critical evaluation of recent trends in management practice such as Total Quality Management, re-engineering and the learning organisation.
