Historically management techniques evolved through a number of approaches and stabilize in conventional school for some time. However, the rapidly changing technology-driven marketplace meant even the sophisticated conventional design falls short of engendering corporate excellence in many markets. Consequently, Digital Equipment and PZ Nigeria records outright collapse and serious erosion of market share in spite of exceptional conventional management design. Hence, the paper traced the height and limitations of conventional management.
