The truth of management is supported by two things: existence which is ever-changing reality, and theory what is cognitive and currently in place locally. No “standard theory” can be established in management studies, because the reality of the business is continuously changing. Therefore, approaching truth is accomplished through knowing both theory and reality. Looking at the world business administration academia from this point of view, we can say that the academia has a certain level of soundness in terms of the fact that criticism of the theory-centric view appears from within the academia and the academia places great value on the search for the reality of things. In this respect, the world management academia has established the “standard normative” that both theory and reality have values to reach the truth. However, here we criticize that both the management societies in the world and Japan fall into the stuck that most of academicians rush into myopic research for the sake of journal acceptance or getting fame in academia, while they are losing their original philosophy and raison d’etre of pursuing the truth of management.
