Abstract Driven by the idea of "Nothing is quite so practical as a good theory",the foreign researchers in organization and management research are paying more and more attentions to the topic of building management theories,and obtaining the fruitful research results. These results are largely difference,even contradictory to each other. It's not easy for us to understand some classifications according to the terms of western philosophy. Based on the main clue of deduction reasoning,induction reasoning and abduction reasoning,this paper merged these research studies into three types. After analyzing their differences in research logics,research strategies and evaluation criterions for theory contributions,this paper appraises the respective application conditions and their adsorbing activities among them. Finally,the abduction reasoning is expected to be of broad application prospect in management research.
