Practical Reason

Claes Gustafsson

Chapter 2 in The Production of Seriousness, 2012, pp 16-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract My main professional academic background is the study of business, organization and management. What sort of a discipline that really is, what kind of science, if indeed it is a science we are dealing with, is however slightly unclear. ‘Management studies’ as a collective concept is used mainly in Scandinavia. It does not primarily denote a uniform academic discipline but rather describes a teaching area, corresponding to the German ‘Betriebswirtschaftslehre’ and the English ‘business administration’. Other cognate concepts are ‘management science’ and ‘microeconomics’ in economics.
