The trajectory of scientific development has demonstrated a continuous acceleration throughout history. This acceleration has facilitated the emergence of various interdisciplinary domains of expertise. Concurrently, the ongoing evolution of scientific paradigms has resulted in increased specialization and compartmentalization within the scientific community. This trend has, in turn, fostered the development of novel eclectic disciplines, exemplified by the emergence of business administration as a notable instance. In this context, a discernible accumulation of substantial knowledge concerning business administration as an eclectic discipline has manifested, complemented by the documentation of innovative scientific approaches. Consequently, this study aims to elucidate the scientific dimension of business administration within the framework of scientific evolution and contemplation. In summary, the review furnishes a comprehensive portrayal of the evolutionary trajectory of business administration and its integration with scientific methodologies.
TopScientific Thought
Science has been in continuous advancement concerning the ability of human beings to understand, comprehend, and reason about the phenomena and events they are dealing with. Science is a generalization that has been divided into many sub-branches as a phenomenon that fosters curiosity and purpose, leading people to achieve better living conditions, find non-existent facts, and emerge new solutions. The science that investigates truth and the equilibrium of phenomena requires systematic thinking. Since science was perceived to be synonymous with philosophy at the beginning, it was developed and determined by philosophers and enabled the shaping of philosophical questions. Science is carried out in a logical manner that includes systematic and objective activities in the widest sense of understanding and finding reasons and so trying to predict and control events regarding curiosity, and suspicion. That's why science can be defined as a method of questioning and investigating the nature of events, to obtain reliable information. Science is not a stack of information, but an open trial-and-error method (Atkins, 2010; Koçel, 2015: 17). So, science is the generalization that leads to efforts to get better living conditions, find new phenomena, and contribute to civilization (Rollin, 2006).
Scientific thought aims to develop hypotheses to understand the cause of a natural or social event and explain the cause-and-effect relations and obtain information about the subject that is defined or being wondered about in real life (Wilson, 1999: 49-71). The generated hypothesis is tested by thinking, observation, or experiment. So, the phenomenon or incidents are tried to be perceived. This understanding and explanation are systematically carried out scientifically according to certain procedures. Because scientific thought is based on observing events critically and systematically, investigating similar and different aspects, and identifying elements that are common to each event. The information thus obtained becomes more reliable. Because the difference between the theoretical endeavors and the findings considered by the scientist is the method and reliability of the knowledge based on the production (Lindberg, 1992; Koçel, 2015: 18-20).
