Methodological Tasks in Preparing Textbook “History of Management Thought”

The development of a textbook for the discipline “History of Management Thought” should be based on a methodology that allows highlighting theoretical constructs that describe the management process in each historical era and showing their connection with both previous theories and the management practice of a given time and place. These theoretical constructs, as specific concepts, are contained in the texts of individual authors, as well as representatives of schools and directions of management thought. In addition, they are represented in the management documents of their era. The methodology proposed by the authors of the textbook is based on the concept of a historically determined theoretical model of management. This concept includes generalized mental constructs: subject-object relations in management, goal of management, principles of management, management mechanism. The combination of these elements of the theory, in correlation with the factors that led to their development, gives an idea of the theoretical model of management that took shape in each specific historical era throughout the history of mankind, as well as how management thought changed in the process of historical development.
