Management scholars, based on the ideal of social engineering, continuously design and promote all kinds of management tools, knacks and skills in order to create highly efficient organizations. Evidence, however, proves that these management principles and tools are inadequate in responding to the unpredictability of organizational behavior.

The paper discusses the concept and approach of meaning management and its significance to and application in the management and development of an organization.
