| Résumé : |
In 2006 Sumantra GHOSBAL published in Academy of Management Learning and Education, (vol. 4, no. 1 75-91) the article ‘Bad Management Theories Are Destroying Good Management Practices’ in which the author seriously questions management theories contradicted by good management practice. In this article we also examine the relationship between theory and practice, but we reach the opposite conclusion to Sumantra GHOSBAL. We demonstrate that a particular bad management practice, No Email on Friday or Friday Email embargo, which is more often than not abandoned very quickly, requires the manager to transgress, or deviate from, 8 good management theories: the scapegoat theory, the theory of Work Desire, the theory of the Black Market, the ‘Millefeuille’ theory of communication layers, the Hierarchy of Needs, the double bind theory, the theory of the Infernal Triangle and finally the Grief or Bereavement theory. |
