4. be appraised of some modern trends in management thinking
Probably the best way to be informed about modern trends in management is to read recent articles in the periodical literature The material in the preceding page and particularly the findarticles.com website might be relevent here as well. Reference is made here to two websites which should give you sufficient material to find/present a few modern management trends. The HRMguide.com website offers articles on a range of issues that extend beyond the boundaries of tradition Human Resource management. 'Knowledge Management' for example, is a useful concept to explore. The 'Thinking Managers' website is largely devoted to the work of two management thinkers i.e. Robert Heller and Edward de Bono - but is still useful, stimulating and 'bitesize'!
Some other trends that you might like to explore are the following
  • e-commerce
  • customer relationship marketing [CRM]
  • knowledge management
  • corporate governance/ethics
  • - HRMguide.co.uk
    - 'Thinking Managers' website
    APEL task [max 500 words]
    Present and evaluate three areas of contemporary management thinking.
