Welcome!MILITARY MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE STRATEGY
If you are interested in:
- The battles of the Great War 1914-18;
- Applying contemporary management knowledge to historical events;
Then please explore this Website by pressing the Menu buttons.
The website is designed to assist professionals and students with a working knowledge of these events in relating our modern understanding of how decisions are made to these years that dramatically changed the course of world history.
It has evolved from the experiences of Dr George Bailey, a member of the British Commission for Military History. Trained as a biological scientist, his working life has been as a University lecturer in international strategic management with practical experience in public administration. This led to an interest in the quality of decision making in influencing historical events. When studying for his MA in War Studies at King's College London he saw the value of using the Western Front during the Great War as being equivalent to a scientific laboratory. For four years a relatively narrow strip of Europe was the focus of titanic efforts to gain competitive advantage and hence victory.
The website has four Fields of Interest which are reflect Dr. Bailey's diverse interests. These range from analyses of actual battles to the effectiveness and personalities of commanders and how what was happening was brought home to the citizens of Britain, her Commonwealth and Empire.
