Observations

There is new evidence based movement to the development of new management science that goes with the requirements of the 21st century.
Practitioners and researchers have often held stereotypical views of each other, with practitioners viewing researchers as interested only in methodological rigor whilst failing to concern themselves with anything in the real world, and researchers damning practitioners for embracing the latest fads, regardless of theory or evidence.
The Ž first, ‘ scientific inquiry’ or ‘ Mode 1’, follows the above physical-sciences model, whereby theoretical models are tested against empirical data, each successive study adding to previous Žfindings. This corresponds to Kuhn’s (1970) model of normal science.
The problem of scientific model in business schools. This model operated in mode 1 of knowledge production and assume business as academic discipline as geology or chemistry. In real life business is profession like other professions of medicine or law and business schools should be a profession school, (Bennis, W.G. & O’Toole, J. 2005).
