Hello kensimmons02-ga,

Are you certain that it was in the Harvard Business Review? I?ve found
an article titled ?Is Management a Science? in another management
journal dated 1978. Could the article you?re looking for have been
published somewhere other than the HBR? I look forward to your
clarification.

article that was published in the Academy of Management Review in the
January 1978 issue on pages 139-144. The authors are Ronald E.
Gribbins and Shelley D. Hunt. You can access this article if you are
affiliated with an organization that has JSTOR available for its
