Course description and aims
The history of management cannot be understood adequately by just using legal knowledge to explain the causes from the results.
Students can only learn why a choice was made and what effect it had on the result by putting themselves in the shoes of actors in each situation, and tracing the process by which the decision was made while they predicted future objective conditions. The fundamental factor that guides these choices is "philosophy".
The instructor in this course covers a variety of phases in management history, and students learn about the role of decision making from the philosophy of how it affected history and was constrained by history.
Students will deepen their understanding by reading discussion papers and debating designated issues.
