Theory vs. Practice: Does Theoretical Knowledge Always Work Out?

 Prepare a discussion posting of at least 500 words that answers the following questions:

  1. How have the seminal contributions in your field led to the key practices in your field?
  2. What have been the most beneficial accomplishments of the practices?
  3. Have there been any bad results? (Bad means the results were not helpful and may be embarrassing, but no tangible harm was done to the business or organization.)
  4. Any ugly results? (Ugly means that harm did come to the business or organization.) Why or why not?
