Most of the management literature as we know it at the beginning of the 21st century has a business or military orientation. it is decisively business-centric as most of its models were developed from European and North American (Boyacigiller & Adler, 1991; Elsbach, Sutton and Whetten, 1999). These management models it could be argued were basically designed to solve problems of industraialization in Europe and North America. These models were developed primrily to build a bridge between the larger society's government by democracy and the smaller society of the corporation or company which operates on a different system of governance (March & Simmon, 1985, p.122).
