At a time when small, nimble enterprises and entrepreneurs seem to be getting lots of press, one organization continues to advocate for management thinking as the “essential lubricant” of any organization, not just large corporations.

Launched in 2001 as the first-ever global ranking of management thinkers, Thinkers 50 provides a valuable resource for companies of any size by sharing the best management thinking in the world while continuing to develop new ways to share new ideas. Its latest technology is the new Thinkers50 iPad Apps.

Pointing to the Taj Mahal and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the organization’s website notes, “Without management nothing get done. Period.” Check out its blog where one of the latest post offers lessons from the popular BBC series, Downton Abbey.
