BRIEF ANALYSIS OF SOME SOURCES OF MANAGERIAL INNOVATION

This paper is supported by the Sectorial Operational Programme Human Resources Development (SOP HRD), financed from the European Social Fund and by the Romanian Government under the contract number SOP HRD/89/1.5/S/62988. This paper presents results of a research that started with the question "Who generates the major changes in managerial practices?". We analysed 50 management models that emerged in the last 70 years. The responses obtained show that the new management models are generally developed by academics and management consultants. There is an apparent acceleration in the rate of appearance of new management models.
