The Global Management Consulting Sector - a Commentary

Management practice is as old as civilization itself, management theory and management consultancy is of more recent vintage. They had been started in the end of nineteenth century. The first pure consultancy was that of Arthur Little in the United States , who started out in 1886 with a focus of technology and engineering economics. Many factors are underlying in the expansion of this service sector. Some authors say it was due to the Taylor ’s “scientific management”. David (2001) suggests four forces i.e., increasing number and complexity of companies; the spread of corporate ideology to noncorporate sectors; the organization for the World War II effort; and the growth impact of business education and the business press.

The Biosphere Rules - a commentary

This article presents the natural rules to the companies which can be used to save the environment from any kind of pollution caused by the toxic materials.

It should also consider the social policy and emerging global realities along with efficacy and sustainability of commercial enterprise (MIT Sloan). Environmental sustainability is a universal issue and global organizations must have to consider it in their strategies.

No doubt that companies can learn from nature in manufacturing and recycling.  References:   Moir, L.
