Background. Nowadays many research results in management are not able to be compared to one another. Scientists seem to build isolated ontologies, use incompatible research methods and draw conclusions which are at least neutral to each other. Thus, a new methodological approach could allow us to overcome these obstacles. Research aims. The goal of this paper is to make a contribution to a methodology of research in management science in the field of theoretical research and drawing theoretical conclusions, by presenting a new approach to the analysis of managers' behaviour. Method. Presented approach to the analysis of managers' behaviour is based on facts theory and the system of organizational terms. Such a basis lets us use graph theory to recognize patterns in managers' behaviour. Key findings. The graph-based pattern matching is useful to analyse managerial behaviour when the managers take part in management processes. Indispensable theoretical concept for this is the system on organizational terms based on the facts theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
