Abstract: Abstract This chapter asks the question why management theory is at all important. Why is an ability to improve—and continue to improve—managerial practice in different organizations not good enough? The answer in this chapter relates to the belief in management methods: Scholars believe that a management theory would provide a stable foundation for specific methods. Besides, theory is the crucial product of academic work.
