I appreciate the effort for compiling this list of very useful resources indeed.I am much interested in the philosophical side of management….philosophy of management….

[Ruth M Tappin]

You may want to take a look at the following:

• “The Oxford Handbook of Organization Theory by Haridimos Tsoukas and Christian Knudsen”
• “Industrial and Organizational Psychology – Linking Theory with Practice, edited by Cary L. Cooper and Edwin A. Locke”
• “Organization Theory by Mary Jo Hatch with Anne Cunliffe (2nd edition): Oxford Press”

Also see the attached article (you can data mine the reference list. Hope this helps in some way…

Hi 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.
