Reflecting on the past. Planning for the future.

COLLAPSE

What are your perspectives on how the role of management evolved over time? (Think about the social and economic influences that were present as these perspectives were developed). If we think about management as evolving to address the business and societal issues/needs of the time, what are the capabilities managers need today? What capabilities will we need in the future? What steps can individuals take to prepare? How will organizations need to change in order to support them?

(Connect your experience and the reading in your response. Take a critical look at the evolution of management, not just a summary of how its developed).
