Theoretical economists and management theorists, like scientists viz engineers, often do not see eye-to-eye. The goal of the first is often new knowledge while those of the second is practical application. Their stakeholders, methodologies and measures of success are also different. Still, they often inhabit one S-curve though at different parts. For this post, the [...]

Unlike the time of Adam Smith, rapid obsolescence of technology, consequent changes [...]
