Abstract
The focal viewpoints within business administration have changed repeatedly in the last 30 years. In the production-oriented school, production factors and the process underlying their combination are emphasized; in decision-oriented business administration it is the analysis and optimization of decision processes; systems-oriented business administration views business systems as mutually nested control loops; and the empirically motivated school emphasizes the necessity of empirical justification of theoretical statements. None of these areas of research are able to account for the experiential object “business” completely — rather, they are mutually complementary.
