公共管理处于社会科学研究和管理实践的交叉点。社会科学研究在很大程度上是基于概率逻辑的。然而，管理实践需要概率逻辑和可能性逻辑。作为增加社会科学研究与管理实践的相关性的一种方式，我们探索了基于可能性逻辑的学术发展方式。我们讨论了三种方法，提供了理论化的可能性：过程理论化，实用主义和实践理论。我们在每种方法中确定了一些概念，这些概念可以用来将奖学金重新定位到可能性的逻辑中。我们回顾了一个研究领域，常规动力学领域，这三种方法已经形成了一种方式来说明通过采用逻辑的可能性可以实现什么。
Public management sits at the intersection of social science studies and management practice. Social science studies are largely based on a logic of probability. Management practice, however, requires both a logic of probability and a logic of possibility. As a way of increasing the relevance of social science research to management practice, we explore ways of developing scholarship based on a logic of possibility. We discuss three approaches that provide ways of theorizing possibility: process theorizing, pragmatism, and practice theory. We identify concepts within each approach that can be used to reorient scholarship to a logic of possibility. We review an area of study, the field of routine dynamics, where these three approaches have been formative as a way of illustrating what can be achieved through adopting a logic of possibility.
