Abstract
Practicing managers, the users and consumers of management theory, are not applying theories as we understand them. They are using an ontologically based version of theory that is only tenuously related to its epistemological origins. We will show that for the management practitioner Lewin’s most famous dictum is wrong- and that there really is nothing as good as a practical theory.
