If ever there was a time for a new volume on MOH, this is certainly it. This Handbook affords space to both these perspectives, as well as uncovering unorthodox and unconventional topics and approaches to more familiar territory with an emphasis on new and revisionist viewpoints. Management and Organizational history researchers, doctoral (and other) students and instructors working in this sub-discipline will discover cutting-edge work with novel treatments of familiar terrain in the Handbook of Research on Management and Organizational History"--PPN: PPN: 1698669046Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE | ZDB-1-EEM | ZDB-77-ECB | ZDB-77-EEC
