Existential Philosophy of Management as a Tool for Analysis and Interpretation of Organizational Success and Failure: The Case of Hewlett-Packard

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

From the 1960s, in contrast to the positivist picture of the philosophy of management, an existential perspective began to take shape, pointing to the situational limits of management theory and the impossibility of unifying approaches within a single management theory. In the context of the current dynamic changes threatening the existence of companies, this perspective is gaining new supporters from the ranks of management theorists and business practitioners. Based on a literature review of existential motives in articles analysing the success and failure of Hewlett-Packard, this article demonstrates that the existential philosophy of management is a suitable complementary tool for qualitative analysis and interpretation of the dynamic development of organizations in a complex environment. The article focuses on three main existential topics concerning Hewlett-Packard, namely corporate existentialism relating to the reasons for the company’s being, the ethical framework for the dignified coexistence of company members, and the existential situationality of Hewlett-Packard’s executives.
