The paradigm of the science of management and of the management science disciplines
Copyright policy )The paradigm of the science of management and of the management science disciplines
AbstractThis essay explores C. West Churchman's contributions to the development of the paradigm of the science of management and of management science. No other contemporary thinker has contributed more than Churchman to the elaboration of the management paradigm. In his unique way, and throughout his professional life, he has raised our level of consciousness concerning the unfinished business of the discipline. Given the eclectic nature of Churchman's mind, it would be impossible to do him justice and make a complete list of the methodological and epistemological issues that he has studied. In this essay, we illustrate the ideas that, to our mind, will have the greatest impact on the future direction of the discipline. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
