Critical rationalism in practice: Strategies to manage subjectivity in OR investigations
Subjectivity, inescapable in decision choice, is not satisfactorily addressed by critical rationalism (CR). Three strategies for coping with subjectivity are observed in managerial, administrative and policy development practice. A CR for Practice (CRP) approach is envisaged that embodies a deliberated application of the three practice strategies. OR consulting competences have developed historically to support the application of the three CRP strategies. The concepts embedded in the CRP concept are explored and laid bare for critique.
