Universal theories do not always fit the situation in which they are used, and management practice is no exception. In fact, the difficulty in applying such behavioral science theories has been the interpretation that they are applicable to all situations. This author asks managers and academics alike to recognize that the easy way does not always work, that more theories should be developed to fit different situations, and that staffs should be educated in the theories and techniques that are available.
通用理论并不总是适用于其应用的情境，管理实践也不例外。事实上，应用此类行为科学理论的困难在于一种观点，即认为它们适用于所有情境。本文作者呼吁管理者和学者都认识到，简单的方法并不总是奏效，应该开发更多适用于不同情境的理论，并且应该让员工接受现有理论和技术的培训。
