Reconsidering the decision-making approach to management

Omega, 1984, vol. 12, issue 4, 347-352

Abstract: There appears to be an increasing number of popular articles assailing the quantitative leanings of younger managers, and thus indirectly, our 'decision-making' approach to management education. This paper investigates these charges and reexamines some of the conceptual foundations, as well as popular attitudes, of management science. An actual managerial situation, considered to be typical, is used as a vehicle to explore these foundations and attitudes and some possible redirections of the field are then suggested.
