Abstract

I have described the perceived gap between management theorizing and management practice within the context of the Mode 1 and Mode 2 knowledge production debate. A perceived failure of Mode 1 academic study to be of direct benefit to practice suggests a certain value to the so-called Mode 2 research. Contra to Mode 1 then, Mode 2 research has been argued as a direct attempt to produce a sophisticated narrative knowledge (NKs) as an academically rigorous abstraction of practice. However, in advancing a paradigm of management art, I suggest that managerial and organizational practice might benefit from an Art-aesthetic theorizing that accepts the paradoxical search for knowledge without such rigour. This is an acknowledgement that, in the unfolding of practice under conditions of ambiguity and complexity, there may well be little time available for the validation of knowledge, before it is called upon as the basis for practical action.
