About the Book

Phronesis and Quiddity in Management addresses the issue of excellence in judgement-making, its concept and characterisation. Through a combination of Aristotle's phronesis and Izutsu's consciousness (Bewusstsein), the authors explore the concept of 'phronesis' (or its translation as 'wisdom' or 'practical wisdom') to emphasise its conceptual dependence on Aristotle. At the same time, however, this book also stresses another conceptual derivation from Toshihiko Izutsu's main work, Consciousness and Quiddity, in that it is inspired by the metaphysical thesis of the Japanese philosopher. The authors investigate, firstly, what constitutes excellent managerial skills centred on leadership revolving around judgement-making (rather than decision-making) and, secondly, whether such skills can be taught.
