In conversations with management practitioners, they emphasize the superiority of the practical
application of management and organizational solutions in companies over management theory. Is this
a valid claim? The authors partially agree with it. Management and quality sciences are disciplines
focused on the practical application of knowledge in organizational activities that
directly influence the growth of an organization’s effectiveness and efficiency.
It determines the development of an organization’s competitive advantage. However, the researchers did not agree that management practice is more important than theory, since it is precisely the individual experiences
of specific researchers and knowledge creators in the field of management that have a fundamental impact
on the development of management at both the theoretical and practical levels. The authors equate
theory and practice. They state that theory is equivalent to practice, while practice is just as important as management theory.
