30 FOR TOK: IB BUSINESS MANAGEMENT: THE THINKING BEHIND SUBJECT

Every business framework encodes a theory of human nature. Every management model carries assumptions about what organisations are for. These assumptions are rarely examined, and that is exactly where this book begins. 30 For 30 TOK: IB Business Management is the fourth book in the 30 For 30 TOK series, which pairs thirty IB diploma subjects with thirty searching questions about the nature of the knowledge it produces. This volume focuses on the IB Business Management course, asking questions that its frameworks, case studies, and models raise but rarely address directly. From the reliability of the case study method to the cultural assumptions embedded in motivation theory, from the ethics of corporate social responsibility to the epistemological status of business forecasting, the thirty questions in this book press on what business knowledge actually is and how confidently it can be held. Sample responses model what rigorous, critical engagement with business and management thinking looks like in practice. Designed for IB Business Management students, teachers, TOK educators, and anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of the organisations that shape so much of modern life.
