Society of Applied Philosophy First Friday Workshop Open to all. No need to book. Making Sense of Management: Why Does Management Need Philosophy? Friday 2 November 6 pm Senate House (Room 331) University of London Malet Street London WC1E 7HU Nigel Laurie and Chris Cherry will introduce for discussion a range of philosophical issues about the theory and practice of management, and about the complex relationships between manager and managed. (Many of us find ourselves occupying both roles.) Topics will include: o Why has philosophy been so reluctant to address management thinking and ideals? o Why is it important that it do so now? o Why does management seem to lack a history? o How can doing philosophy help managers make better sense of tasks such as encouraging creativity and thinking coherently and realistically about motivation? Nigel Laurie is Editor and Chris Cherry Chair of the Editorial Board of Reason in Practice: The Journal of Philosophy of Management. Please forward to anyone who may be interested.
