This is a study to examine the context of various organizational theories and their development from the perspective of legitimacy and effectiveness; evaluate selected discussions regarding theory development and various theories; encourage the use of evidence-based theory development and provide a look at the model and related theories that are created after examining existing theories. While I am not rejecting the need for thorough testing of theories, I am simply examining the suggestion of theories and models for their value. Except that when we begin to look deeply into the application of theories, they can be tested under the conditions of their authenticity and the level at which they are useful. This test leads us to suggest that there may be many more useful new and improved organizational theories, as well as new additions and variations of other theories that may have been or are being developed. For some, the thought of considering these theories for authenticity and their usefulness can vary, and ranges from reasonable questions, to contempt, as some people do, and struggle and debate just the idea of new or improved ideas (Miles, McKenny, Short, Davis, Wu). As I read the article, I began to develop an understanding and appreciation for the historical background of why using management and organization theory is very useful. It became clear to me that, at the same time, management and organization theorists are also aware that times are changing and they need to significantly change their method of thinking. While most business planning plans have become shorter, aggressive pressure is increasing. This is leading to a…… half of the paper…… that it is necessary for theorists, researchers and authors to come to a decision on the possible outcome on the development of a solid and majority approved thought process to guide organizational theory and research to the fullest extent its potential (Miles, McKenny, Short, Davis, Wu). Since many articles appear with several new theories and models, it is possible that this search for a model approved by the majority leads some to discard the results because they consider any new theories and models outside the normal idea of thought. not in line with the traditional thought process.
