This book traces the main historical events that have shaped present day management education in a representative sample of European countries and in Japan.

Drawn from a 20th century time frame, these readings about management education cover a complexity of subjects. The key event, American managerial capitalism's rise to global hegemony, occurred at mid-century; it focused the world's attention on American management education. That story is told in numerous articles - about the revolution in business education within the USA, about the propagation of American managerial knowhow and its reception abroad. But the readings also cover alternate forms of management education, rooted in quite different capitalist systems of enterprise governance, with emphasis especially on a German tradition that rivaled the American before 1940 and a Japanese that emerged internationally in the 1980s. These readings relate not only how the alternative traditions in management education retained their vigor throughout the century but how those mid-century predominant American views about management education are being challenged as the century ends in America itself.
