The book consists of twenty articles that were first published in the Economic Courier, in the series "Modern Trends in Management", in the first half of 2003.

The articles in the book discuss the latest trends in the science and practice of business management, both internationally and in Greece. The authors are professors from ALBA, other distinguished academics, and individuals who have long pondered management issues.

With the exception of the last one, the articles in the book are original, as the authors were invited to write them specifically for the aforementioned series. The authors aim to convey to the interested readers, in a friendly and clear manner, some insights into the latest trends in management.

They seek to inform, stimulate, and provoke thought among those who practice management or are interested in management. The "menu" is rich. The articles cover a wide range of business management topics - from personnel management and strategic management to marketing, knowledge and technology management, accounting, and financial management - and have been grouped into sections to correspond to the above thematic categories.

If you have ever wondered what the recent developments in the science of business management are, this book provides you with a good answer.
