The Evolution of Management Theory and Practice as the Basis of Modern Management

The Evolution of Management Theory and Practice as the Basis of Modern Management

Designing a model of indifference in theorizing in management research with grounded theory approach.

This study explores and elucidates the phenomenon of indifference in theorizing within management research in Iran, highlighting the causal conditions and implications of this indifference on both the academic and practical landscapes of management. Using a qualitative grounded theory methodology, this study synthesized the data collected through interviews with management faculty members from various Iranian universities. Purposive sampling was employed to select participants until theoretical saturation was achieved with 29 interviews. The data were analyzed using ATLAS.ti software, enabling the construction of a paradigm model to explain the observed phenomena. The study identified multiple causal conditions contributing to indifference in theorizing, including individual, educational, cultural, economic, social, political, and systemic factors. These factors collectively foster a climate of scientific isolation, hindering the development of management theories and affecting both educators and students. The outcomes of this indifference manifest as a reduction in theoretical innovation and diminished engagement with management theory among academics and practitioners. Indifference, as a key concept in the presented model, represents a type of scientific silence, indicating the unwillingness or inability of researchers to create new and effective theories in the field of management. This research contributes to the field by providing a detailed model of the dynamics underlying indifference in theorizing within management studies in Iran, a topic that has received limited attention in the existing literature. The study's findings emphasize the need for systemic changes to overcome barriers to theorizing and suggest pathways for revitalizing theoretical contributions in management research.

ОЦЕНКА ПРИРОДНЫХ РЕСУРСОВ ТЕРРИТОРИИ В ПАРАДИГМЕ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ6

In the context of the transformation of organizational-and-economic relations in the field of nature management inthe post-Soviet period and given the integration of Russia into the global economic space, studies on the approaches to measuring thecontribution of natural resources to the development of the country and its regions come to the fore. Given the turbulence in the worldeconomy, the rational use of natural resources is the foundation for the stability of regions. Economic assessment of natural resourcesis becoming one of the main tools for environmental management. The concept of sustainable development adopted in Russia is basedon maintaining the sustainable use of natural capital (NC). At the same time, the principles of rational environmental managementenshrined in Russian legislation imply assessment of the natural resource potential (NRP) of territories. The seeming similarity allowsthese terms to be viewed as synonyms. An analysis of various understandings and approaches to economic assessment of natural resources as well as significant experience in solving practical problems made it possible to establish differences between NRP and NC, which are spatiotemporal innature. Moreover, the concept of NC organically complements the theoretical foundations of geographical research on NRP since itallows assessment of the results of its use at the current moment of time.The research hypothesis suggests that the concept of NC should be considered as a logical continuation of NRP research interms of the rational environmental management theory development in the conditions of market competition.The study aims to clarify and develop the conceptual and methodological apparatus for assessing the socio-economic resultsof environmental management of a territory in modern conditions and to identify differences and connections in theoretical and methodological approaches to the assessment of NRP and NC.In the study, logical and comparative analysis methods were used. Economic methods for assessing natural resources wereapplied to substantiate the findings.Considering the concept of NC as an evolutionary development of the theory of rational nature management allows harmonizing the theoretical foundations of environmental management formed in Russia with the concept of sustainable development.

IGBO CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANAGEMENT THEORY

The impression that Africans had no roots or contributions to modern-day management practices has persisted for a while. However, the Igbo people in Nigeria had their own management practice and leadership styles that were peculiar to them before the emergence of the management theories, which was why the Igbos were able to survive the indirect rule and brutal economic exploitation during the colonial era, and immediately after the civil war. This study, therefore, examined the role Igbo culture played in the development of management theories. The study specifically identified some specific Igbo cultural practice and their managerial implications and aligned some Igbo cultural practices to existing modern-day leadership theories. The literature of the study looked at the Igbo race as a people, examined culture, explained some management theories, the Igbo cultural practice and leadership theories, Igbo cultural practices and their managerial implications and Igbo cultural practices and modern day leadership theories. The study used the matching methods as the research design. The idea involved was to basically find commonalities between chosen management theories and the leadership styles of the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria. Mostly secondary sources of data were deployed for this purpose. The study also employed a qualitative methodology and a narrative analysis technique. It was revealed from the findings that before the introduction of modern-day management theory, Igbo culture had been practising the relevant leadership style that was propounded by great thinkers of management such as management by objective (Izuora), Management by exception (Izundiichie), Motivation (ituni muo/ Ikwanye ugwu), Transformational leadership (Ibezimako), Contingencies Leadership (Igbo enweze) and Transactional leadership (Echichi/ochanja/imapu na iwu).
 Keywords: Igbo, Culture, Southeast, Nigeria, Development and Management Theory.

Alderfer’s Erg and Mcclelland’s Acquired Needs Theories - Relevance in Today’s Organization

Many scholars have been interested in the evolution of management theories, principles, and concepts and their application. This study looked into the utility of the Alderfer's ERG and the McClelland Acquired Need theories in today's workplace. A narrative and desk review methodology were used to thoroughly review and document the works of other scholars. Before narrowing it down to the immediate environment, references were made to the application of the theories in global space. The study's findings revealed that the two theories are deeply rooted in today's management approaches, but they are not static. As society changes, so do the dynamics of management. The study showed that no single theory is applicable in every organisation, but rather a combination of two or more theories. Because the application of management theories has evolved over time to meet changing internal and external requirements of firms, they are influenced by the current business environment. Colonialism, culture, technological advancement, and socio-economic theories have all had impact on Nigerian management theory and practise. In a nutshell, management theory is progressing rather than coming to an end.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF CONTROLLING

The situation of economic uncertainty dictates the need to apply progressive approaches to management, which include controlling. The study of the evolution of views on controlling is necessary for an objective assessment of the current state of this concept, the prospects for its development in domestic enterprises.
 The article presents the theoretical aspects of the formation of the concept of controlling, reflects the views of the most famous foreign and domestic researchers in the field of controlling regarding the essence of this category. The systematization of approaches to the definition of the concept of “controlling” is given, the author's approach to interpreting this concept is proposed, taking into account modern trends in the development of management theory and practice. Formulating the definition of the concept of “controlling”, the author focuses on the relationship between the concept of controlling and process management.

Administrative and Management Theory Development and its Application In Islamic Education

This chapter provides an overview of several topics relevant to constructing an approach to teaching educational administration and leadership in Muslim countries. First, it places the topic in the context of the changing nature and critiques of the field that argue for a greater internationalization to both resist some of the negative aspects of globalization and to represent countries’ traditions in the professional curriculum. The study of education administration and management theory is a part that provides direction and views on how an educational administrator carries out his duties based on truth values, both practical and theoretical values. This journal will explain the theory of management and administration which is very important and influential in an institution. In its application, management and administration are a mutually sustainable unit so that an institution can achieve its goals if its leaders can manage the administration properly, be it the management of Human Resources, Finance, Infrastructure and so on. If the administrative arrangements can run well, then the management in an institution will automatically be organized by itself.

A Few Philosophical and Psychological Components of Security Management as a Part of Security Culture

The dynamic changes of the security environment currently taking place in the global economy and politics are also seen in the evolution of management theory according to different kinds and dimensions of security culture. Management is a scientific field that draws from and intersects with other branches of science. Its effectiveness is determined by the principles of axiology and the mechanisms governing the human psyche and human behavior. The subject of interest in axiology is the concept of value, its roles in our lives and the division of values concerning specific scientific trends. Psychology additionally addresses people and studies the impact of psychological phenomena on interpersonal relations and interaction with the surrounding world. Both areas of science occupy a prominent place in the management process and security culture is often treated as a process too. Their use in management is a balance between economic and social values – and because of that – receiving security is the most important value for the existence of man. To achieve this, managers need to build a lasting value system. This study aims to inspire security managers to apply ethical and psychological knowledge more widely in their practice. Achieving certain goals without taking into account human values, needs, and behaviors seems almost impossible today. It is also an expression of the values recognized by the leaders or commanders, their beliefs, and their attitudes toward other people and themselves.

Environmental sustainability and management theory development: Post‐paradigm insights from the Anthropocene

AbstractGiven a looming crisis of environmental degradation, this conceptual review revisits certain long‐standing assumptions informing the development of management theory. Specifically, we problematise seminal notions of paradigm differentiation at the heart of Burrell and Morgan's theory of paradigms by arguing that assumptions of paradigm incommensurability amount to abdication of a responsibility to consider cross‐cutting existential imperatives. In developing the concept of epistemological panarchy, we build on some ideas of stakeholder theory to suggest a research agenda concerned with developing an improved meta‐epistemology aligned with concerns of environmental sustainability.

Information competence as a key factor in continuous education of a leader

Keywords: information culture, information worldview, information competence, information literacy, information and management competence of the head of the structural unit of the university, manager of the educational institution.

Actor–network theory: A novel approach to supply chain management theory development

AbstractSupply chain management (SCM) researchers often conduct research using theoretical approaches and ontological assumptions adopted from other areas of management. These approaches and assumptions are valid for some aspects of SCM but may also neglect or be unsuited to other questions and concerns that are distinctive to the SCM domain. Actor–network theory (ANT) provides an alternative perspective that addresses some of the blind spots of established approaches. We begin by describing the main theoretical assumptions and the dominant ontological position of ANT, in terms of three principles: relationality, heterogeneity, and performativity. We then show how adopting these principles allows an alternative conceptualization of the supply chain and of SCM itself and discuss the methodological implications of adopting these principles for research in SCM. ANT‐inspired research can make four major contributions to the development of new SCM theory. First, ANT can provide new theoretical insights into the dynamic and fragile character of supply chains, specifically regarding how SCM systems and devices are implemented, constructed, and transformed in practice. Second, ANT can enable the development of SCM theory that leads to a better understanding of how people in SCM roles really act when managing in the supply chain space. Third, the question of what and who manages the supply chain can be explored in radically new ways. Finally, ANT can provide a complementary perspective on power in the supply chain, serving as a good lens for researchers interested in exploring the politics of representing, interpreting, and stabilizing SCM practices and systems.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ УПРАВЛІННЯ БЕЗПЕКОВОЮ ДІЯЛЬНІСТЮ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

COVID-19 and the military aggression of the Russian Federation with negative consequences for the national economy and every enterprise have actualized not only the problem of ensuring economic security at the micro level, but also directly reviewing the principles of managing security activities. The difficultly predicted change in the influence of key internal and external factors poses new tasks for security subjects, the solution of which is possible not only by studying best practices, but in general by reviewing the basic positions of interaction between the controlling and controlled subsystems. The purpose of the study is to carefully consider the historical foundations of the formation of management theory in order to specify the principles of managing the security activities of the enterprise. In order to consider the theoretical aspects of the management of the security activities of the enterprise, the following methods were applied: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – in the study of differences in the positions of the interpretation of the concept of "management"; synthesis and analysis – to reflect the transformation of researchers' views on the management of any systems; morphological analysis – to clarify the term "management of security activities of the enterprise"; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. Studying the historical foundations of the development of management theory and clarifying the essence of the main modern approaches ("activity", "system", "process" and "social-psychological") creates the necessary basis for modernizing the understanding of security activities at the scale of an individual enterprise and improving its management for preserving and creating conditions for business development. It is proposed to understand the management of security activities of the enterprise as a purposeful and organized managerial influence (based on the application of methods, means, technologies and available resources) of security subjects on internal and external objects in order to consolidate efforts in achieving goals in the field of security activities. The key differences of the author's position lie in the orientation of security activities to ensure and maintain self-development, self-organization and self-control of the enterprise as a system, which are key parameters in the complex conditions of the national economy.

Associated Petroleum Gas Utilization: New Opportunities for the Oil and Gas Complex in a Circular Economy

The topic of the beneficial use of associated petroleum gas (APG) remains relevant due to the limited resources and environmental problems. This is the engine for the active development of management theory and practice with a focus on such concepts as resource saving, energy efficiency and circular economy, which determine the vector of environmentally oriented development of industrial enterprises. In this paper, the existing methods of APG utilization are considered, a qualitative comparison of technologies in terms of such parameters as CAPEX, marketable output, prospects for the sale of commercial products, loss of profits, environmental damage, extraction of petrochemical raw materials from APG, technology implementation period is carried out. Based on the example of the Messoyakha fields, the economic efficiency of APG utilization technologies, which correspond to the characteristics of the field (injection into the reservoir, shallow and deep processing) was calculated. The calculations showed that deep conversion is the most effective method of utilization of APG stored in underground gas storage (UGS) of the Messoyakha fields. This method of APG utilization is integrated into the circular economy system and meets its principles.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF PRODUCTION DIVERSIFICATION MANAGEMENT AT THE ENTERPRISES OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

The article discusses the development of management theory in the field of production management of military products. The results of studies of this problem by different authors are analyzed. It is established that information and telecommunication technologies are one of the most important factors determining the direction of organizational, technological and economic development of enterprises at the present time. The process of informatization of enterprise management is proposed to be considered as one of the most important mechanisms for reforming the defense industry. This mechanism should ensure the creation of effective competitive forms of organization and management of the military-industrial complex. This mechanism should ensure the creation of effective competitive forms of organization and management of the military-industrial complex. It is proposed to implement the accelerated introduction of modern information and telecommunication technologies in the process of managing the diversification of production by creating virtual clusters in the military-industrial complex and ensuring the sharing of information by enterprises that are part of them. A virtual cluster model has been developed and a list of tasks that need to be solved for its creation has been defined. The implementation of these research results in practice will contribute to improving the efficiency of diversification activities of enterprises of the military-industrial complex.

Road to Africanizing Management Theory Development

The purpose of the study: This phenomenon-based theorization aims to move towards a plausible theoretical reasoning by generating and evaluating explanations that render the Africanization of management theory development (AMTD) understandable. Study approach: We will use sensemaking in discussing decolonization, indigenous culture research methods, and cultural groups who use the African Ubuntu principles and values as a stable object in creating proximity for advancing the scholarly conversation about AMTD, offering one type of Africanizing theory development. The Discussions: The current conversations about Africanizing management theory development (AMTD) have offered us three common threads, being that of decolonization, indigenous culture research, and similar Ubuntu principles and values across Africa, which provide a possible pathway to Africanizing management theory. The Implications: By establishing some common attributes in Africanized management theories, the article could contribute to operationalizing new organizational dynamics and management guidelines suited for African management development by applying sensemaking.
