How to make a list of management literature?

The article describes how to correctly compile a list of management literature, where to find the standard for registration and what to pay special attention to.

Why do I need a list of references?

This is an integral element of any document - scientific work, report, task. Often the question arises about what it should consist of.

The list of literature consists of a list of books, magazines, articles, multiplies, Internet sites that have been used to perform the work. In particular, in the field of management there is a huge variety of useful materials, but not all of them are on the same topic. Depending on the content of the work, the list of literature on management can be very different. It will include only those sources that were used in one way or another by the author: they were read, scrolled, used as the main idea, served as the basis for the conclusions, are carriers of terms or citations contained in the work.

The list of literature on management shows how widely the management problem disclosed in the work has been studied, how much material the author has studied in the process of accomplishing the task set in the work.

Rules for the formulation of lists of literature

Sources in the list of literature can be grouped in different ways:

• Alphabetically;
• By reference in the text;
• In chronology.

Any of these options is acceptable, but the most popular is the first one.

If among the authors there are namesakes, such sources list the initials alphabetically. In the presence of foreign publications, they are placed after the Russian list also in alphabetical order.

It should be noted that the concept of "bibliography" and "list of sources used" is often confused. It is necessary to understand that the first concept is much wider than the second.

The list of used literature on management (or sources) will include only those books (or articles, sites, etc.) that have been cited or whose ideas are outlined in the work. In this regard, bibliographic records, as a rule, have the order of mention in the text.

For example, in the list of literature on management included 3 textbooks, 1 dissertation, 5 articles and 2 online resources, and the list of sources used includes only 2 books and 1 article, links to which are present in the text of the work.

Rules of registration of a bibliographic record

Bibliographic record refers to the description of a book or any other source in the list of literature. There are rules for the design of such records, set out in the relevant regulatory documents: GOST 7.1-2003, GOST 7.0-99, GOST 7.5-98, and others.

In general, you need to remember a few simple rules regarding how to design a list of literature :

• The description of the book or other source must necessarily include: authorship, title, information about the publishing house, year of publication.
• Optionally, if possible, information on the circulation, the number of pages, places that should be emphasized in the context of the work in question is added.
• The author's indication begins with the surname, then the initials are noted.
• Legislative acts should be described beginning with the title of the document, without abbreviations (for example, the Russian Federation and the Russian Federation), specifying the date of publication in the Russian newspaper (which is the official condition for enacting the law);
• Rules, standards, patents require the indication of the approving authority.

For more convenient compilation of the list it is recommended to use the description and examples specified in the GOSTs listed above.

Features of the bibliography on management

The directions of management are as diverse as the manager's work. In this regard, the list of literature on management can vary greatly depending on the direction, objectives and objectives of the work. Let us consider some examples.

.К., Вахович Дж . М .). The list of the literature on financial management should not do without the book "Fundamentals of financial management" ( Van Horn JK , Vakhovich JM ). It is also unlikely that the work on financial management will bypass the financial rate strategy developed by John L. Kelly. It is worth adding a few sources on the financial analysis of Russian authors.

The list of literature on strategic management can include many foreign publications, since the terms of this field of management have long been translated into Russian and used in everyday life. It is worth mentioning the works of Professor G. Mintzberg, who developed key programs for the strategic development of organizations.

In general, the sources used by the author in the compilation of any work on management should reflect a comprehensive study of the problems and enter the list of literature on management as a guarantor of the qualitative work of the researcher.
