The book collates the thoughts of mighty management minds of America and Europe. It is a critical commentary on the works of the pioneers of management thought. It synthesizes into a coherent volume the discrete contributions made by as many as fifty-one management thinkers. It includes management thinkers who gained prominence in the first half of the 20th century: Frederick W. Taylor, Henri Fayol, Lyndall F. Urwick, Max Weber, Mary Parker Follett, Oliver Sheldon, George Elton Mayo, Chester I. Barnard, Kurt Lewin, James Burnham, to mention but a few.
