Future of Management Management: Theory, Practice & Application

Introduction

Life is about change; nothing stays the same forever. Success depends on learning how to adapt and roll with the changes. If we stand still, we will be left behind. Businesses and organizations face the same consequences. Management must see how new concepts and functions fit into the changing needs of a company, and the leaders of an organization must be able to make those visions a reality. This paper will focus on the roles of management and leadership and how they compare and contrast to each other in their roles to implementing change. It will also discuss new business concepts and trends and how they affect the emerging responsibilities of management. And finally, this paper will portray how the four functions of management will need to change in the future, and how important that change is to the vitality of its purpose.
