N2  - We suggest that the organizational science’s increasing preoccupation with “interesting” theories and “counterintuitive” facts can lead to nonreplicable findings, fragmented theory, and irrelevance. The focus on the interesting and novel reveals a profound misunderstanding of the scientific enterprise. Organizational scholarship will be better off if it reverts to according primacy to the problem being solved over novel theory development
