The Sage Handbook of Management Learning, Education and Development

The scholarship of management teaching and learning has established itself as a field in its own right, and this benchmark Handbook is the first to provide an account of the discipline.

Original chapters from leading international academics identify the key issues and map out where the discipline is going. Each chapter provides a comprehensive and critical overview of the given topic area, highlights current debate, and reviews the emerging research agenda.

Chapters embrace the study of organizations as a whole, the concepts of individual and collective learning, the delivery of formal management education, and the facilitation of management development. Through consideration of these themes the Handbook will analyze, promote, and critique the contribution of management learning, education, and development to management understanding. It is an invaluable point of reference for all students and researchers interested in broadening their understanding of this exciting and dynamic new field.
