● Historical Stages: Describe how management principles and practices evolved as the economy shifted from a primarily task-based/industrial economy (focused on mass production, efficiency, and structured roles) to a service-based economy (focused on customer satisfaction, flexible teams, and relationship-building), and then toward today’s technology-based economy (driven by innovation, information, remote work, and virtual collaboration).
● Key Features and Priorities: For each stage, identify the most important challenges that managers faced, and explain how the priorities for managers and organizations changed.
Your summary should show personal engagement and understanding of the textbook content. Be specific in describing and referencing how the textbook presents economic and management shifts.
