The concepts, like management philosophy, management theory, and management practices, have not been defined clearly by many authors in management literature. Gonzalez and McMillan, in this article, are using the concepts interchangeably. For such confusion in usage of these concepts, also see John F. Mee, Management Thought in a Dynamic Economy (New York: New York University Press, 1963), pp. 73–74, where the author is using management theory and management philosophy interchangeably. In this model, however, the concept of management philosophy is being defined differently from these author’s definitions.
