BİR YÖNETİM GURUSU OLARAK ALFRED D. CHANDLER VE İŞLETME TARİHİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİNE YÖNELİK ANALİTİK BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

ÖzAmaç: Bu makalenin amacı, modern işletme tarihinin babası kabul edilen Alfred D. Chandler, Jr.’ın işletme tarihi üzerindeki etkilerine yönelik analitik bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Yöntem: Bu amaçla öncelikle işletme tarihinin doğuşu ve gelişimi genel olarak ele alınmıştır. Daha sonra Alfred Chandler’in hayatı, çalışmaları, işletme tarihine yaptığı katkıları, genellemelerine yönelik tartışmalar ve itirazlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Ardından Chandler’in tarihsel bakış açısının ve fikirlerinin uluslararası düzeyde popülerliğini değiştiren faktörler değerlendirilmiştir. Son bölümde Chandlerci perspektifin işletme tarihi üzerindeki kalıcı ve belirgin etkisi incelenerek çalışma sonuç bölümü ile sonlandırılmıştır.Bulgular: Chandler yanlısı paradigma zamanla parlaklığının çoğunu yitirmiş olsa da, ekonomik olarak bilgilendirilmiş işletme tarihinin yeni tarzı, dünya çapında artan bir şekilde ilgi çekmeye devam etmektedir.Sonuç: Her ne kadar genellemelerine yönelik tartışmalar ve itirazlar günümüzde de mevcut olsa da, Chandler’in bu alanda yaptığı çalışmalarla, özellikle strateji ve yapı arasındaki ilişki, merkez ve çevre sektörler arasındaki ayırım ve büyük işletmelerin ve yönetimin yeniliklerdeki rolü konusundaki genellemeleri nedeniyle bugün hala işletme tarihindeki merkezi rolünü koruduğu düşünülmektedir.

ALFRED D. CHANDLER AS A MANAGEMENT GURUS AND AN ANALYTICAL EVALUATION ON HIS EFFECTS ON BUSINESS HISTORY

Aim: The purpose of this article is to make an analytical assessment of the effects of Alfred D. Chandler, Jr., who is considered the father of modern business history, on business history. Method: For this purpose, first of all, the birth and development of the history of business have been discussed. Then, Alfred Chandler's life, works, contributions to the history of business, and discussions and objections to his generalizations were emphasized. Then, factors that changed the international popularity of Chandler and his ideas were evaluated. In the last section, the lasting and obvious effect of the Chandlerian perspective on business history has been examined and the study has been concluded with the conclusion.Results: Although the pro-Chandler paradigm has lost much of its luster over time, the new style of economically informed business history continues to gain increasingly attention around the world.Conclusion: Although controversies and objections to his generalizations still exist today, due to his works in this field, especially due to his generalizations on the relationship between strategy and structure, the distinction between central and peripheral sectors, and the role of large enterprises and management in innovation, it is thought Chandler to retain his central role in Business History
