Managing in Changing Times: A Guide for the Perplexed Manager is an insightful management book with its ideological underpinnings in the works of E F Schumacher and F Capra. It is an endeavor made by the authors to provide fresh perspectives to deal with the challenges faced by managers working in the everchanging socioeconomic world of today. Drawing from Schumacher’s book – A Guide for the Perplexed, which is a critique of materialist scientism, this book disregards the mechanistic approach of the traditional management theories proposed by the West and critiques the fixation of the West with proof of causation which leads to a bureaucratic and dualistic system of functioning and serves to be ineffective in managing the kind of turbulence that the world is witnessing today.

Abstract


Managing in Changing Times: A Guide for the Perplexed Manager is an insightful management book with its ideological underpinnings in the works of E F Schumacher and F Capra. It is an endeavor made by the authors to provide fresh perspectives to deal with the challenges faced by managers working in the everchanging socioeconomic world of today. Drawing from Schumacher’s book – A Guide for the Perplexed, which is a critique of materialist scientism, this book disregards the mechanistic approach of the traditional management theories proposed by the West and critiques the fixation of the West with proof of causation which leads to a bureaucratic and dualistic system of functioning and serves to be ineffective in managing the kind of turbulence that the world is witnessing today.
