Abstract

There seems to be a distinction, not always recognised, between organisation theory and management theory. Organisation theorists base their concern in sociology or social psychology and ask questions concerning the way organisations operate. Management theorists take as a much closer focus the question of what a manager should do to make his organisation operate better. Management theorists frequently take note, in their research and in their textbooks, of what some organisation theorists are saying: the latter is not always so true.
