Not what you're looking for?
I am having a problem constructing an outline for a paper. I am not sure what subject area of philosophy deals with a Director of behavior management.

Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. As always, the solution below should get you started. It has been based on the list of philosophers in the book by Delanty and Strom. This is all about philosophy being used in business management. I know it can be confusing in that philosophy is not normally aligned with principles of management. The thing is, management is all about strategies, about understanding human nature and about utilising knowledge to maximise resources and to take control of situations. This is where philosophy comes in as at its heart, philosophy is the study of fundamental issues related to existence, life, values, reason, language and the mind. Business and organizations are products of human activity and human activities are influenced by these fundamental issues. As such, studying philosophy of management and applying them to issues of management and leadership is expected. Good luck with your studies, as always.
Sincerely,
OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
