Humanizing HSM to benefit human systems

Abstract

Owed perhaps to its peculiar name, ‘Human Systems Management’ or HSM, this unconventional, international business journal challenges both potential contributors and reviewers, grappling with the processes of managing human systems and human systems management. HSM is poised to reflect the fact that the research pertaining to business enterprises and other societal organizations has moved past the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval-corporatism views of humankind’s recent past, and far beyond the technocratic information age, into the high technology of truly societal human systems. Ergo, HSM aspires to archiving business research manuscripts that track the transformation of pioneering business enterprises and other societal organizations into self-organizing and self-governing societal human systems.
