Abstract
The authors invoke Rostow´s theory of economic development, the kinetics of chemical reactions, and the empirically based theory of the evolution of technologies, to address, by analogy, the stages of knowledge development in management science. They show that different strategies dominate research at the various stages of its development. The stages are related to the level of knowledge accumulated and the relative difficulty of teaching/learning the accumulated knowledge
