This subject critically and systematically examines a range of important theories in the management field. The basic elements of these theories will be discussed. Ways in which these theories are invoked and operationalised in empirical and conceptual studies will also be discussed. Some of the theories that will be covered include agency theory, resource based view, transaction cost economics, resource dependence theory, stakeholder theory, critical management theory and institutional theory. A strong emphasis will be placed on linking these theories to the various research topics in management.
