The methodology is built upon a rigorous critical literature review and empirical research employing qualitative, quantitative, and autoethnographic approaches. The primary objective of this monograph is to establish a holistic model that organizes the complexities of management aesthetics and highlights the interconnectedness of its components. This model serves as a central framework for a comprehensive and systemic exploration of the phenomenon of management aesthetics, as well as a foundation for analyzing individual issues within this field.
