Management Research

This guide is designed to help you get started doing management research using Library resources and services

Search Tips for Finding Books on Management Topics

To explore a management topic, try a keyword search in the library's catalog.  Depending on your topic one or multiple keywords might be necessary.  For example, if you were looking for information on scientific management, you might use the following keywords in your search:

  • "scientific management"
  • Taylorism
  • "Frederick Winslow Taylor"
  • "shop management"
  • "classical perspective"

Be sure to use quotation marks around your keywords if you're searching for a specific phrase or term

Using multiple keywords in the same search can often help you find books and other materials on more focused topics within management. For example, if you were looking for information on the relationship between management and business ethics, the following keyword combinations might be helpful:

  • management AND "business ethics"
  • leadership AND "business ethics"
  • management AND "corporate social responsibility"
  • power AND ethics
