CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The study has analyzed the future identity of management as an academic and professional field in the context of broad systems perspective. It pinpointed major universal transformations affecting management thought and practice including globalization, democratization, privatization, and technology and knowledge revolution. It is assumed that management should be totally revitalized in the light of emerging realities. A new theory and practices of management should reflect its ability as a dynamic open socio-technical system to adapt to and cope with universal transformations. The study has suggested the so-called remote management, which represents its new identity in the context of high-tech, and knowledge centered world. Remote management is based on broad systems view and integrated, mutually reinforcing, complementary public/business administration interrelationships. No significant difference should be made between public and business administration in performing their functional roles since both of them are considered as mostly technical and professional entities.
