Abstract

The analysis of some special elements of management theories highlights that on the certain stage of their development these elements were certain metaphors. At first the system for management was considered as a "machine" and, accordingly, the scientific management was aimed at studying the mechanics of this machine and methods to increase its efficiency. Then the systems were seen as a "living organism", and models that were built on the basis of coincidence of organism and system appeared: life cycles, survivability, evolution, extension of spheres of influence, etc. In the times of cybernetics "brains" were revealed in the systems. Nowadays the socio-economic systems are more often considered as "political systems". On every stage of development of the socio-economic systems, the use of certain metaphors allows to look at these systems' main objectives from different angles and perspectives. Metaphors allow to urge thinking of management to the search of coincidences and analogies, in particular, rules of "common aims" and new "image of the world".
