In Retrospect and Prospects

 “Journal of Management History” has just published my new large paper “WHIRLING IN BETWEEN THE PERSONAL AND THE IMPERSONAL: The Quest for the Marrow of Organizational Goals, And the Lessons to Be Drawn Thence” covering the conceptual evolution of the problem of organizational goals and the analysis of its most significant treatments from the beginning of the past century up to our days. The author shows that the paradigm within which the problem was considered has been exhausted and formulates the key lessons to be drawn from the history of its research as well as outlines the new paradigm capable of reveal the true nature of organizational goals.
