Classical management theories and practices formed the foundation for current management thought, practices, and theories. Modern management thought moved from classical concepts to organizations as communities where workers were valued and considered as assets rather than merely factors of production. As a result of this shift, worker needs became highly valued, and the human relations and motivational perspectives rose to prominence. Modern management; however, addresses talent management in the economy of a global integrated enterprise. In this assignment, you will discuss the transition from classical management theory and thought to a global integrated enterprise management and talent management paradigm and the resulting potential influences on business practice.
