Abstract

This article seeks to analyse the circumstances and the nature of the emergence of management research from economic analysis in the 1950s in Britain and France. It also looks at the more recent shifts in the boundaries between these two social sciences; and to understand their analytical and methodological significance by taking into account the different historical and cultural contexts within which they were embedded.
