The London Classification of Business Studies and management literature Available to Purchase

In this paper we are concerned with two related topics—management literature and The London Classification of Business Studies. To understand the purposes and structure of the Classification it is essential first to consider the scope and content of management literature. But management literature would not exist, certainly in its present form, without the business schools, and so it is appropriate to begin by attempting a very brief answer to the question—what is management education? This fine new building in which we are meeting, with its lecture theatres, seminar rooms, computing facilities, its important library, its excellent residential accommodation, helps to provide a visual answer. But it is necessary to consider a broader perspective.
