    In this webinar, we will discuss the influence and impact of management theories on management practice and the common good. We will: a) discuss the assumptions underlying the dominant management theories, especially in the economic, sociological, and psychological realms; b) reflect on the impact of management theory on management practice and the common good, considered as the set of conditions that enhance the development of people, organizations, and society in general; c) apply the criteria and theories analysed to research papers according to academic writing standards and journal review processes.
