All these parameters of management theory have developed the default roles and dimensions of a manager. To get success, to help organizations to encounter with today’s challenges, to get competitive advantages in market, managers must adopt the below mention transformation:

Learning will be the power of organizations in future instead of knowledgeable and manager will be the essential winner of learning.
