Abstract: The use of psychological attributes to explain consumer behavior has proved helpful. Perhaps it should influence the study of managers and their associates. Thus, implementation problems can be examined in terms of the interacting life styles of managers and management scientists. This viewpoint provides some interesting perspectives. Not facetiously, we might learn something about carrying a project through to completion by studying various categories of attitudes. In such terms, we could attempt to relate and match the mind of the management scientist (called the model builder) with that of the manager. Many appealing possibilities are found in the literature.
