This paper with the topic ‘The appropriateness of laboratory experiments for the organizational research’ was made in the frame of the seminar ‘Current Agendas in Institutional Theory’. There are various forms and methods in organizational research. In addition to the observation, interviews and surveys inter alia there are also experiments.
Since Galilei (1564 - 1642) the experiment counts to the methodological component of the natural sciences (cf. Stein 1990:7) Nevertheless, in the social sciences the experimental procedure find much later recognition and input. For this prejudices expressed by John Stuart Mill (1846) among others against the use of experiments in the social sciences have helped. He had the view that the necessary control in the experiment is not sufficient to provide (cf. ibid.).
