Evidence of an Archetypal Management Framework.

The burgeoning management science fields have produced and continue to produce vast quantities of advice, frameworks, and checklists for owners, leaders, and managers. Evidence is emerging that the proliferation of management science may be overwhelming and that the advice is not sufficiently integrated and only addresses discrete parts of the enterprise, not the whole enterprise system. One would expect to find evidence of repeating patterns in the general class of socio-technical systems known as enterprises. This article presents evidence of such an archetype and proposes a framework for management based on the finding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
