About what is as popular in teaching management as it is controversial

The article concerns concepts widely known and used in teaching management, which either did not withstand scientific verification, or are highly controversial or misunderstood and misinterpreted. Three of them, relating to the key areas of management, namely communication, motivation and intercultural management, have been critically assessed. It covers the formula 7-38-55 by A. Mehrabian, the theory of the hierarchy of needs by A. Maslow and the concept of cultural dimensions by G. Hofstede. The article presents the background of the above mentioned concepts, their limitations, errors or inaccuracies. For each of the critically evaluated concepts, alternative concepts have been presented.
