The Systems Management series pubblished by Giappichelli aims to advance knowledge in an increasingly complex environment where managers and decision-makers are expected to tackle challenges related not only to business profitability but also to sustainability, equity, and inclusiveness.
Managerial sciences provide evidence of their ability to address problems beyond the traditional scope of business studies, making them relevant across various fields. To enhance this cross-disciplinary approach, management must be grounded in a robust body of knowledge based on universally applicable frameworks.
By adopting a 'T-shaped' model, the Systems Management series strengthens management’s systemic thinking roots, promoting its adoption across a wide range of complex scenarios.
