Abstract:Management andsocial study are not only the reflection of people’s beliefs, but also can change people’s beliefs. Management theory shapes social practice under the new beliefs through theoretical constructs. Because of behavior, ideas and temporal dependence, management theories only achieve “lawlike” and “demiregularity” theory. Harsh pursuit for rigor can only lead to a lot of obvious, commonsense conclusions. From the view of constructivism realist perspective, management should focus on the construct of a “useful” theoretical framework. From the view of critical realism perspective, management should focus on the belief and mechanism behind the phenomenon as well as their complex relationship, rather than the surficial correlation among concepts. From the view of post positivism, the indigenous management research is to study the concept of local management and local management culture and its change, rather than a simple external contextualization.
