Changing Paradigms: The Transformation of Management Knowledge for the 21st Century

Management paradigms, the system of ideas by which managers understand and act upon the economic world, have undergone a rapid process of transformation in recent years. Throughout the world a more sophisticated, cerebral approach to rethinking companies is apparent, and a familiarity with a variety of management theories is often required by managers in response to the rapid evolution of the business environment. "Changing Paradigms" explains how current developments in management ideas relate to traditional forms of management thought and practice, and examines which paradigms are likely to be durable in the next century. In highly competitive environments, those who succeed are often unencumbered by past paradigms, and fully engaged in inventing new paradigms of business. This book constitutes an analytical study of management innovation and business strategy.

Management paradigms, the system of ideas by which managers understand and act upon in the economic world, have undergone a rapid process of transformation in recent years. Throughout the business world management thinking is becoming more sophisticated. A cerebral approach to rethinking companies is apparent, and a familiarity with a variety of management theories is often required by practising managers in response to the rapid evolution of the business environment. This work seeks to explain how current developments in management ideas relate to traditional forms of management thought and practice, and examines which paradigms are likely to be durable in the next century.

Corporate governance developed to maintain the accountability, stability, and performance of corporations. It has evolved to concern not just the financial health of the company, but its social and environmental impact. There is considerable international institutional diversity in corporate governance. The role and significance of market institutions varies among different governance systems. 
This work provides a concise insight into the defining impulses of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century corporate governance evolving through a series of competing epoch-making paradigmatic contests. The present paradigm highlights a shift towards corporate sustainability involving the corporate delivery of long-term value in financial, social, environmental, and ethical terms. In analysing the purpose of the company and the definition of value creation, the hegemony of agency theory and shareholder primacy is challenged. More expansive theoretical explanations are considered which recognise the deeper values companies are built upon, the wider purposes they serve, and the broader set of relationships they depend upon for their success. 
This book will be of value to researchers, scholars, and students in corporate governance, sustainability, business, and accounting. Managers, professionals, and other general business readers will also find this text of interest.
