Abstract
This article is about the praxis concept in relationship to management theory and practice. Ideas from critical theory, and thus from dialectical analysis, are used to present a perspective towards the academic workplace based on transcending the theory-practice dichotomy. Propositions for praxis oriented academic action are drawn from the existing literature andfrom the arguments developed here.Keywords
