A practical approach to management

Abstract

Argues that so‐called practical approaches to management are misguided since they tend to assume that practical matters can be considered separately from, and prior to, theoretical analysis and reflection. Making a call for a more explicitly theoretical approach to management, makes suggestions for reshaping management thinking.
