Document Summary

Walter kiechel"s, the management century" entails the history of management in chicago in the late 1880s, and how the management ideas of strategic thinking, applying humanistic psychology to social institution, and leadership and innovation came to be. Strategic thinking is instrumental for the next century of management because having a strategy is common in every business, and every executive has objectives they must reach. An institution can no longer just thrive to achieve reflexive and adaptive performance, but also must be able to change the industry and its surroundings. They must also be able to reach the boundaries of economic conditions through the success of their institution. The postwar emphasis of managerial thinking was to elevate the humanity of production . This can be done through the application of humanistic psychology to social institutions as it helps develop the employees.
