Abstract:This paper discusses and expounds the problem-orientated theory for the management theory development which proposed by Sheng Zhaohan in the paper “Problem Orientation: Driving force of management theory development”. The author believes that “problem orientation”contributes to the development of management theory to be down-to-earth, calmly confronts the challenges of complex problems, restores the original intention of the mathematization of management problems, and at the same time breaks the bulwark of the subjects and achieves theoretical breakthroughs. For the “Interdisciplinary”issue of management theory development, the author believes that cognitive misunderstandings and disciplinary barriers should be eliminated. For the potential issues that caused by “problem orientation”, such as the “instrumentalization”of theoretical research, the limitation of“free exploration”and the formation of stereotypes in management school, the author puts forward some problems that need further consideration in the development of management theory.
