MemberHi Ibn-E-Hassan,
Though you have said you are referring to philosophy side of management, I think it is important you let people know what aspect of management you are subjecting to philosophical examination. The conceptualisation of management itself is philosophy – and yes, I know there is philosophy of management but in what terms is this being considered?
Management is irrelevant when it is engaged in endless discussion without specific direction. The direction pointed will enable one to recommend the philosophical framework to examine issues that may come up. I think this is the way to go now in management.
