Synopsis

This work is concerned with the business practices and policies which have produced Britain's much-criticised owner-managers and managers since the 1890s, and the efforts that have been made, and which continue to be made, to reform the British approach to management formation. It identifies a century of weak demand from business for managers qualified by education and wide experience, and discusses possible future directions to stimulate demand. The work falls into two parts. The first covers the period from the 1890s to the 1960s, tracing the origins and development of the systems to produce corporate managers used in Germany, Japan, the United States and then Britain. The second part, from the 1960s to the 1990s, emphasizes British employers' continued preference for ad hoc solutions and a less rigorously professional approach.
