Abstract

In light of a growing number of management models used in organisations questions regarding their nature, validity and applicability are becoming more and more important. We therefore provide in this introduction a concise overview of their background. We define a management model as: a “stable” theoretical framework that can be used to observe, create and assess a real life organizational ‘situation’ in order to make desired (future) improvements. We also argue that five common requirements can be used to appraise the applicability of a framework claiming to be a management model. Thereafter a brief outline will be provided of each of the twelve business contributions in this volume. The experiences recorded in the following chapters are wide-ranging. They cover know-how with national quality award models; management models for fair trade, corporate social responsibility, organisational excellence and various aspects of an organisations’ value chain. The volume makes available an intriguing journey into the application of management models in different organizational and environmental contexts – a great learning experience for anyone who undertakes it.
