Abstract
The article deals with the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of best practice research (BPR). First, the basic components of BPR are formulated and analyzed.
Then two different approaches to BPR are reviewed and discussed their pros and cons. Then the general problems of BPR are considered as well as possible ways of their getting over.
The article shows that there is nothing like “best practice of best practice research” and it is argued that much has to be done in the development of BPR theory and methodology.
