Abstract

The article presents an overview of the foundational studies of academic knowledge in management highlighting the importance of research monographs written by professors Philip Selznick, Tom Burns and George Stalker; Paul Lawrence and Jay Lorsch. It is the author’s view that studies are still relevant today, but ignored, and that there are important insights to be learned from many early works, and that works are worth to revisit them as new.
