How to Skin an Eel with too Sharp a Knife and Without Proper Sand on Hand (Or Personal Experiences in Applying the Results of Organizational Research)

Although my concern was social science research as a whole, I tried to prove my points by analyzing the existing theoretical approaches in organizational research. My major conclusion was that in social science research in general and in organizational research in particular, one should try to decrease the emphasis on application so that the theoretical frameworks would not automatically include the ideas of common goals/utility functions/welfare functions and assumptions of the actors trying to achieve/ maximize/satisfy them.
