Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to recap the various debates about management history by considering the roles of traditional history, postmodernism, radical history, and ANTi-history. I also track the development of various myths and discuss the competing strengths and weaknesses of the various models. My purpose is to provide a discussion of the models – not to offer judgment but a reasoned appraisal for the purpose of edification and debate.

I would like to acknowledge Emerald Publishers who consented to allow me to reproduce this section and the one in postmodernism. It appeared in a slight different form in as Muldoon 2019.
