Abstract
The management of organisations is a continuously evolving and transforming science, which first emerged as a theoretical instrument and method to improve efficiency and effectiveness. This chapter explores the conceptual evolution of management theory from an elliptical and critical perspective. It examines the relevant scholarly management literature and is oriented towards understanding and synthesising different conceptual trends in change management. This conceptual paper concludes that a refocused theoretical framework oriented towards change management in ‘Stra.Tech.Man’ terms (strategy-technology-management synthesis) is necessary for organisational innovation and effective adaptation to the newly emerging conditions.
