Straightening our Perspective: The Logos of the Line
通过分析两幅15世纪意大利和荷兰画作，探讨透视艺术中的直线如何影响早期管理学写作，指出科学规则可能使管理学描述看似有说服力却脱离本质，从而解释管理实践与理论间的持续分歧。
This article examines the role of the straight line in perspectival art through a close discussion of two 15th century paintings, from Italy and the Netherlands. The discussion here suggests that the convergence of Art with Science occurring in the Renaissance period subsequently played a significant role in early management writings. The article, through these two paintings, argues that the rules governing Science may have conditioned the understanding of studies of management to produce accounts that appear to be persuasive but upon closer, informed inspection fail to engage with its essence. Thus, producing accounts that are disappointing and this may help to explain the juncture that continues to pervade the division between management practice and theory.
