Authors: J. P. Cornelissen and R. Thorpe
December 2004

In this paper, the widely held claim within the management literature - that management theory can be 
validated through successful applications in organizational settings - was subjected to critical appraisal. The 
analysis of this claim and its warrant and grounds have interesting and far-reaching implications  for the relationship between management theory and practice, and for the working relationship  between academic researchers and practicing managers.
