Management by Holistics – A Business Resource Management Approach

Abstract

The management philosophy of Management by Holistics (MbH) is addressed, where attention is paid to achieve a balance between four vital resources: human, capital, materials and information. The approach focuses on the fact that “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts” and is based on the conviction that everyone in an organisation needs clear‐cut goals. A model for the implementation of this management approach is defined with reference to Swedish industry.
