Summary:

It is my great pleasure to serve as a specialissue editor for this issue of The Journal ofManagement History in ManagementDecision. The historical context in whichmanagerial theory and practice have evolvedis too often overlooked. Academics,researchers and practitioners tend to forgetthe past, and too often overlook historicalpatterns of which today's theories and''innovations'' are but echoes.
