Two books separated by 36 years between publication dates, and both titled "The New Management," are examined in this paper. The authors present the conventional wisdom of management in 1938 and compare it with the "New Management" of 1974. The question the authors seek to answer is the title of this paper, "Is There Anything `New' in Management?" By comparing the two periods, the authors conclude: (1) that the problems facing management have remained essentially the same; (2) that there have been a refinement of techniques and further extensions of knowledge in the field of management; but (3) that there is really very little that can be called "new."
