    Creativity and Rationality: A Philosophical Contribution.Frits Schipper - 2001 - Philosophy of Management 1 (2):3-15.
    Nowadays creativity is fashionable. Writers on management and organisation, for example, mention creativity as vital to entrepreneurship.1 They consider it to be as important as land, labour and capital, which form the traditional factors of production.2 And related terms such as ‘genius’ are in use again. An example of this is the widely read book Built to Last.3 Moreover, creativity and rationality are presented as alternatives.

    Real knowledge managers.Paul Griseri, Frits Schipper, Nigel Laurie & Mark Dibben - 2010 - The Philosophers' Magazine 49 (49):77-80.
    There is a presumption that it is the philosophers who know the truth, and the business people who need to be told it. However, business is a unique phenomenon.

    A Philosophical Reading of a Classic of Management and Organisation: F W Taylor.Frits Schipper - 2008 - Philosophy of Management 6 (3):23-38.
    Although Taylor’s scientific management is often severely criticised, his publications are seldom the subject of scrutinised, philosophical, reading. The latter is the aim of the present text. Attention is given to the idea of science, the role of extra-scientific values, the relationship of theory and practice, the societal meaning of management, presenting demarcations, presuppositions and unclarities. The conclusion notes several topics, implied by Taylor’s views and still worth reflecting upon. One example is efficiency as a seemingly context-independent concept.
