| Abstract: | Drawing on Peppers's World Hypothese the author describes four different approaches to obtaining formal knowledge in management studies. These approaches are: formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism. All of them are valid ways of refining common sense that resist synthesis. Applying Pepper's framework in as extremely diverse a field as management studies the author shows the different assumptions and knowledge claims made by different types of theorists in management. |
