Assignment 2: ------------------------ Executive summary • Table of content • Introduction • Body of assignment (questions related to case need to be answered) • Conclusion / Recommendation if any • References (in-text + citation) to be used. -------------------------------------------- Management research is characterized by a diversification of opposing viewpoints due to different perspectives that scholars often espouse to address a particular topic or theme. Whilst, this schism appears to be puzzling, it enriches the body of knowledge and creates a fertile medium for critical thinking and hopefully constructive debates, hence leading to a broader understanding of the underpinnings of the studied themes. • What is the nature of management research as a discipline? • What drives the variation in the findings of research practices in management? Do philosophical schools of thoughts influence that variation in anyway? • Among many challenges facing management research, a prolific literature exists on the theory- practice gap in management discipline, what are some explanations cited in literature to address this situation? • What is the role of DBA management scholars in addressing this gap? • How can action research reduce the gap angle between theoretical outcomes and managerial practices?
