Discovering Management Principles from Alawi Speech and Mentioning an Example

Imam Alis teachings in the field of management may be a guide for managers. In some cases, the teachings have been given in a chain of universal propositions and rules on the basis of which the question rises as: how the rules may be extracted and related to present principles of management? Following the purpose, one should notice clear denotations of text being based upon verbal and reasonable rules; present rules of management may be used for confirming and making them clearer only. By the method one can meet some expressions appearing as managerial rules. It would be necessary for the researcher to be careful on such methodological faults as eclecticism, defective examination, arbitrary using of Imam`s speeches and the difficulties of interdisciplinary studies. The managerial rule centered on in the paper is the rule avoiding dispersed measures in the field of management extracted from Imam`s saying: those of dispersed actions are exposed to defeat.
