Synopsis
This study aims to examine the new perspectives and developments in the concept of management within the framework of Karl Popper's concept of falsifiability. By examining Karl Popper's concept of falsifiability and the new approaches that emerged in the concept of management, it is aimed to explain the new currents of thought that emerged about the concept of management. In this study, the efforts of management theories to offer solutions and suggestions by criticizing the theories that came before them are evaluated within the framework of Karl Popper's concept of falsifiability. It is based on the interpretation of the solutions and suggestions of management approaches by considering the concept of falsifiability put forward by Popper. In the study, it can be concluded that management approaches are not falsifiable when analyzed in line with the falsifiability principle.
