Abstract

This paper emphasizes a transformative approach to management knowledge, which is a methodology intended to improve the linkage across key stakeholders of the field. This methodology is proposed as an alternative to the most commonly used approaches in management studies, namely, positivist and interpretive approaches. The transformative approach is particularly suitable for connecting management consulting and research because this approach attempts to integrate action and reflection, personal and organizational realities, and theory and practice.

Keywords: transformative approach, management inquiry, management methods, management philosophy
