The essential notion is that the relationship between theory and its users must always be open to evaluation and reinterpretation through the process of research whether “real world” or in the “classroom”
However, this seems too obvious, almost banal. After all most students of business have a notion that theory is unreal or suspect – almost by definition. The problem is that to move beyond simple assessments that theory, such as Porter’s diamond, the product life cycle or the Boston Consulting Group matrix, are right or wrong requires more detailed accounts of how these ideas are used by the academy that takes primary responsibility for them. Thus, accounts need to focus on the pragmatic employment of theory to develop effective and workable solutions for specific contexts. This might encourage a more reflective, pragmatic and critical appreciation among students of management education concerning the potential of theory.

Maybe i should write this for my thesis.
“Management theories hold true for rats. You can theorize rat behavior as they are very predictable creatures. The theories don’t hold true for humans. Humans are unpredictable creatures, they bite when least unexpected.”
LOL i wonder what the aussie lecturers will think when they read it.
