Barriers to Management

DOI: 10.33917/es-6.204.2025.6-15

Despite the diversity of scientific disciplines dealing with management issues, practice very often shows examples of ineffective management. The article identifies and briefly discusses seventeen key barriers to successful management — from complexity issues to implications of the 1990s. These barriers are conditionally divided into three areas related to systemic, instrumental and social aspects of management. At the end of the article the author provides dependence graphs of the barriers to management and an expert assessment of the possibilities to eliminate these barriers.
