Strategy & Business Magazine @stratandbiz is celebrating 20 years in publication this year.
Part of their celebration was to tell the story of the History of Management.

We mapped out themes and resources that have impacted our thinking across time using philosophy, history, and sociology to be our guide. Instead of coming up with a timeline and key points we framed 20 significant themes and suggested the resources for those who want to do a  deeper dive.
