The concept of best practices is another one of those difficult to define but widely adopted phrases used to describe one of the evolutionary steps in the ongoing pursuit of silver bullet fixes to complex organizational problems. Best practices is still lingering, but it is steadily being overshadowed by economics and the realities of organization dynamics. If the management mentality is to mature, it is important to learn from the phases of evolution. A social, political, and economic dissection of best practices is a healthy step in overcoming the syndrome.
