Abstract (2. Language): 
In the age of rising global interdependence, there is a growing need to understand national models of management and how they are shaped in order to resolve conflicts and build up co-operation. I t is alleged that the fıeld of Comparative Management can play a cmcial role in realizing the beneüts of global interdependence by contributing required knowledge that can facilitate flow of production factors (capital, labor, technology) across national borders (Bhatt and Miller, 1983). In order the field to play the alleged role, i t is expected to have a conceptual and methodological base. The theoretical and methodological capabilities of the field have been questioned for almost two decades. The objective ofthis study is to review the theoretical and methodological evolution of the field and to analyze the implications of the solution suggestions on the recent research. Section I reviews the theoretical evolution of the fıeld, section I I highlights the methodological problems Section I I I presents an evaluation of the current status and suggestions.
