Mixing practical management with emerging academic theory
12/11/2000
Tailored for "the thinking manager"—practicing professionals and management researchers alike—this handy British portal straddles the best of both worlds, offering the latest news of a practical bent as well as emerging academic theory. It's pulled together by the serials group MCB UP Limited, a well-regarded publisher of business-oriented journals and databases. Although ManagementFirst covers a wide spectrum of interests from career management through workplace technology, readers in search of the latest leadership thinking should go straight to the left-hand topic areas of "Leadership" or "Management Styles." Updated monthly, these topics and others provide fresh information from peer-reviewed journals, advice, news, book reviews, and networking (the latter in the "Information Exchange"). More theoretically inclined readers can also post their work-in-progress on the "Research Register."
