It is a pleasure for Monarch Business School to announce the
publication of the inaugural issue of the Monarch Management Review. In
producing the Monarch Management Review, the editorial staff has several
goals in mind. First, the Review is to be a showcase for the
scholarship and research that is being produced by the faculty, students
as well as guests of the business school. Second, it is a place where
ideas surrounding corporate social responsibility, sustainability and
social issues in management can take a prominent role within the larger
scope of management theory. Third, the Review is to act as an example
that management scholarship often must take a much wider look at issues
than is normally considered within business research. That is,
management is a social science which considers not simply traditional
areas of business study but also areas that cross into the domains of
anthropology, psychology, sociology, pure philosophy and economics, to
name only a few. In comparison to a mere twenty years ago the world of business has
become increasingly global and integrated. With this globalizing trend
many well held beliefs, modes and practices of traditional business have
come under examination, especially when considering the imperatives and
demands that a multitude of varying cultures may place on the global
enterprise. And though the area of traditional business study, as it is
practiced within the many business schools around the globe, seems large
and diverse we are often forced to go beyond these boundaries into
related but unfamiliar areas to find new and interesting theories and
practices to build our understanding of the art of management and the
functioning of business and enterprise. At Monarch professors and students are encouraged to look beyond the
traditional boundaries of management science to find new and novel ways
to approach issues and research. Our preferred view of the world is
interdisciplinary. As expressed annually by The State of Future Report
the many crises facing the planet are being seen as increasingly
interconnected. Any solution will need to be so as well. Monarch
believes that management scholars and practicing business leaders can
make a substantial contribution to alleviating many of the ills facing
the global commons. However, making that contribution means taking an
integrated and ethical approach based on sound knowledge and researched
practices. It is our hope that the Monarch Management Review may be
viewed as making a contribution to this important task. |
