The Art of Organisational Problem-Solving: How to Think About What We Are Doing in Management

By John Paul Kawalek

This book explores the relationship between theory and practice in management. It enters into the debate over whether management should be taught as a set of theories to be learned ('management theory') or whether it is learned in a hands-on manner when a person is placed in a position to practice the skills of management ('management practice'). The author contends that it needs both theory and practice, and this book provides a methodological discourse about certain principles of 'organisational problem-solving.'
