    The Capitalist Philosophers

     
    The art and science of modern management from the philosophers who designed it
    1/29/2001
    "I set out to tell the story of American management through the ideas, lives, and times of more than a dozen 'philosophers' who defined the art and science of management as we know it today," writes the author in the introduction to her remarkable collection of biographies. The "philosophers" portrayed here include such HBS luminaries as the creative team of Fritz Roethlisberger and Elton Mayo, a duo that proposed groundbreaking ideas about human relations, as well as Peter Drucker, Robert S. McNamara, and others. By turning what she calls a "cool historical lens" on their legacies, Gabor offers practical insights for managers and corporate leaders operating today.
