| Abstract: | Management science needs a conceptual framework that instructs the development of organization-specific management theories. Management observation and communication theory (ÌÎÑÒ) is essentially an integration of linguistic-mathematical theory (L-Ì theory) and living systems theory (LST). L-Ì theory is a pure system - defined by the interrelationships of its own elements, and thus does not depend on any particular empirical element. LST views existence in the context of concrete systems and particularly from the vantage of living systems. By integrating these general systems theories, ÌÎÑÒ instructs the discovery and development of internal purposes and external goals unique to particular organizations. |
