Abstract

In our modern times, science develops quickly, technology renews itself in front of our very eyes, and management theories evolve in different directions. The most important and most obvious characteristic of the quickly developing science is that the forest of specialized and interdisciplinary disciplines can be easily seen, yet the boundaries of disciplines become blurred. In terms of the speedy renewing of technology, the most important and most obvious characteristic is that generations of newer gadgets with better functionalities appear with shortening time intervals, while unexpected products are designed and introduced into the marketplace in abundance. Regarding modern management techniques, an increasing number of new theories are developed with forever different insights provided.
