摘要

Purpose - Via philosophy of science, the paper seeks to identify the role of trial and error in businessrnand other managed activities, including economic development.rnDesign/methodology/approach - Drawing first on Karl Popper's view of trial and error as essential tornthe evolution of all life, including all human activity, the paper asks what we mean by science, and howrndistinctive is the scientific mode of enquiry. It goes on to look at, in particular, the treatment of trial andrnerror, and of evolution, in two best-selling management books of the last 25 years, and at the relevancernof this treatment to some recent discussions of economic development.rnFindings - Popper's distinction between science and various types of non-science is not as clear-cut asrnis sometimes portrayed. Moreover, there are significant variants to Popper's view of scientific method.rnBut accepting Popper's view of the centrality of trial and error for problem solving, the paper findsrnsignificant echoes in some management thinking. Related questions occur, also, in some recentrndiscussions of economic development.rnPractical implications - The paper argues that trial and error is a well-established approach inrnbusiness and other managed activities, and that there is potential to learn from many examples ofrnsuccess and disappointment.rnOriginality/value - The paper questions whether some views of science, and of the demarcationrnbetween science and non-science, are as clear-cut as is sometimes assumed. It argues against claimedrnnovelty in some recent discussion of evolutionary process in business and elsewhere.
