Question

What is the critique of the Management Principles Tradition?

Answer 1

The critique of the Management Principles Tradition that relies on the management control theory lies in the fact that; it has undergone lopsided development due to the dominance of the accounting-based approach to the study of management controls. This approach has failed to explain complex issues that are interwoven with deep-rooted, sociocultural context within which these issues emanate. Thus perspectives that are rooted in disciplines such as; political economy, sociology, and anthropology can enrich the mainstream management control.
