Attention. The Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University plans to hold the 23rd International Conference on the History of Management Thought and Business on September 22-23, 2023
We have not discussed the issues that were the subject of our 1st conference in 1996 for a long time. Since then, 27 years have passed and it is time to conduct an inventory, assessment and tasks of Historical and Managerial Research. That is why such a theme of the 23rd conference in HMT&B is proposed: «Doctrines of Management: Past, Present, Problems». In other words, at the 23rd conference we would like to hear answers to the questions “Where have we been?”, “Where are we?” and “What are the methodological challenges we face today related to the three pillars of Historical Management Research (HMR):
- to the History of Management Thought (HMT),
- to the History of Management (HM) and
- to the Historiography of Historical and Managerial Research (HHMR).
As always, the Objects of historical and managerial research and our conferences will be various kinds of materials and / or documents - monographs, articles, conference proceedings, legislative acts, letters, memoirs, diaries, archival documents, etc. In the case of our conference, these are materials that present of ideas, concepts, theories, scientific schools, reflecting the 4 stages of the Life Cycle of Scientific and Applied ideas about Management of business (in the broad sense of the word) in different countries and regions of the world in different specific historical periods:
- emergence,
- development,
- struggle and
- change of ideas.
The dates of the publications used are not limited - from the manuscripts of the representatives of the Ancient World to many treatises of our contemporaries. Moreover, the views and ideas themselves can relate both to the management of the economies of countries as a whole, and to the management of individual aspects and elements of businesses of these countries - politics, demography, legislation, socio-cultural relations, science, technology, international relations of the country, etc. In addition management of various industries, businesses, organizations and functional of organizations (personnel, accounting, marketing, finance, purchase, production, sales, R&D, etc.).
It is also obvious that the subjects of economic management in different countries of the world in different specific historical periods were (as management actors) the state and its institutions of all forms of government, public organizations, the church, and representatives of the private economy.
Hence, a few questions that we expect answers to at the upcoming HMT&B-2023 conference:
- When and in connection with what was the management of the businesses born?
- When and in connection with what was the managerial idea born?
- What is the "legacy" and "heritage" in the field of science and practice of business management?
- What are the factors and causes of changes in the management systems of organizations and business?
- What are the factors and reasons for the difference in views on the management of organizations and business of representatives of different countries and regions of the world in different specific historical periods?
- How and Why did the ideas and concepts of the systemic (elemental) and integrated (aspect) approaches arise and develop in the management of the economics of countries and in the countries of the world?
- How were the aspect characteristics of management (economical, political, legal, demographic, ecological, etc.) manifested and taken into account at the four stages of the life cycle of ideas and views on business management?
- What are the factors, causes and features of the concepts of anti-crisis management of organizations and businesses?
- Why and how did views on the provision of management processes for various kinds of resources change?
- Why and how did the views on staffing the management processes of organizations and businesses change?
- What was the "engine" of management and managerial thought - a real business or the logic and intuition of the creator and implementer of ideas?
- What motivates management researchers to create scientific articles such as "The Management Theory Jungle" (Koontz H,, 1961)
- Is it possible to use the category "paradigm" in relation to HM and HMT as ideographic sciences? Why?
- Can you agree with the idea: "The Past as a Stochastic Process"? If so, how should the gnoseological process of HMR be built?
- What are the factors of appearance only in the 20-21 centuries several hundred foreign and domestic treatises and textbooks on HM and HMT?
- How to teach history of management (HM), history of management thought (HMT) and historiography of management studies (HHMR)?
- What are the challenges facing the researchers of HM, HMT and HHMR?
