Reflections on Forty Years in the Management Field: A Parthian Shot (Friendly)

Abstract

Plenary by Peter Checkland: Reflections on Forty Years in the Management Field: A Parthian Shot (Friendly) These reflections, both as a presentation at OR60 and here, in matter form, stem from many years of professional life spent trying to understand the everyday real world in order to bring about positive changes in real-world situations which are taken to be problematical.
