| About Morgen Witzel |
 |
Over the past 20 years Morgen Witzel has established a international reputation for innovative thinking and clear incisive writing about a range of management issues in books, newspaper columns, journal articles and online forae. His work has been translated into many different languages including Chinese, German, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Spanish. |
| Morgen’s work encompasses writing, teaching, research and editorial work with a particular interest in the history of management and management thinking. His newest publication is A History of Management Thought (Routledge, 2011), a comprehensive survey of management thinking from ancient times to the present day. This book is described by Andrew Thomson of the Open University as: “a work of impressive scholarship and huge scope across time, geography and ideas. It is not just a history of thought, it is also the history of management through the ages.” |
| Another of Morgen’s recent books, Tata: the Evolution of a Corporate Brand is a full length study of the origins and development of India’s most famous brand and indeed one of the world’s most valuable brands. This book combines historical analysis with an in-depth look at the brand’s reputation in the eyes of its stakeholders and has been on the Indian best-seller list since its launch in August 2010 and was named one of the best business books of 2010. |

| One of Morgen’s next projects (with Malcolm Warner) is The Oxford Handbook of Management Thinkers, a collection of essays on leading management thinkers past and present; this is part of Oxford University Press’s prestigious series of scholarly handbooks. |
| Another of Morgen’s forthcoming books is Management Frameworks (with Jacques Kemp and Andreas Schotter). This book explores how companies can and should become more systematic and more logical in their thinking. Rather than piecemeal approaches to management, companies need to develop holistic management systems that embrace the whole company. By doing so they will become better at strategic thinking and reaction and better conditioned to survive in the future. |
