Management and Organizational Studies

The article presents three ideas about how management scholars can make themselves more relevant in the world of practical affairs. First, those who are associated with business schools should use their acquired expertise to improve the management skills of business executives. Second, scholars need to make their presence felt in the formulation of public policies that affect business. And third, management theorists should look to apply their knowledge to disciplines beyond business. William Ouchi is a good example in this regard, a management scholar who has made a noticeable impact on public education.
