Le management, un carré plus que sémantique

There?s nothing but trivial when management scholars are importing, implicitly if not explicitly, some theoretical frameworks without further questions about their epistemological assumptions. In the light of a discussion of the routes of S. Ghoshal and CK Prahalad, we return to some of the terms of the academic debate in ?pre-crisis? time, as formulated by S. Ghoshal or C.K. Prahalad. This gives even more prizes and relief to the empirical, theorical and epistemological efforts made in the articles that make up this special issue. Finally, new avenues for research in management science are designed and discussed, with the challenge of thinking seriously that ethical, epistemological and pragmatic validity can not, without injury, be thought of as decoupled.
