In this book the author helps the student to develop his or her own critical and conceptual understanding of the subject. As the author reviews the various approaches classical, human relations, behavioural science, systems and contingency theories he shows that none of them offers a simple progression from error to truth, but that all of them combine to contribute to a broader view of the field. The final chapter summarizes the authors viewpoint, applying the different approaches to a particular case study.
