Question: Why Hard-Nosed Executives should care about management theory by Clayton M. Christensen and Michael E. Raynor
In the article "Why Hard Nosed Executives Should Care About Management Theory" some of its focus is on the issue that management would use research in gathering information; that research discovery is a valid effort but results are contingent and may be useful in some situations but not others.
Given that:
• management is a decision making entity
• decisions should be informed decisions
• some decisions require prompt decision making, and
• research is time consuming
Develop guidelines for how and when research should be used by management.
