| Summary: | Chris Argyris’s work touches on a fundamental point: the lack of congruence between
espoused values and theories-in-use. Such incongruence is amplified by the existence of organizational
defense routines. From an Islamic perspective, such an incongruence is very problematic. The paper
discusses two mechanisms in the Islamic tradition – sincerity to others and mutual consultation – to
overcome this problem. The case study also suggests that more modern techniques can be useful as
well. The implications for management education are discussed. |
