The paper attempts to derive the conditions for obtaining good research in the field of management from a methodological point of view, i.e., from the point of view of the logical and empirical foundations of knowledge and the reasons to believe in the truth of any purported "scientific" proposition. After reviewing the essential concepts coming from classical philosophy and recent philosophy of science, the paper tries to apply them to management research. The paper draws heavily from the work of Charles Christenson (1976, Proposals for a Program of Empirical Research into the Properties of Triangles, Decision Sciences, 7, 631-648; and 1983, The Methodology of Positive Accounting, The Accounting Review, LVIII No.1, 1-22).
