Contemporary social management technologies

Abstract

Analyzing the practices of development, application and research in managerial social technologies, the author reveals a number of essential problems in their further development. The revealed problems are combined into three groups: the problems of theory and methodology, the problems of development and the problem of practical application. Basing on the analysis of modern managerial social technologies, the author suggests comprehensive and universal classification that uses the two criteria: the content of technology and its functional relevance. The applied research taken by the author and described in the article reveals that managerial social technologies as a phenomenon are widespread in contemporary managerial practice. However the practice is irregular and not systematic, while its efficiency is still low.
