Overview: After the spectacular successes of the 1960‘s and 1970‘s, the mineral exploration business is at a crossroads, facing uncertain t:imes in the decades ahead. This situation requires a re-thinking of the philosophy guiding mineral exploration if it is to emulate its recent performance.

Während die einen es als besonders praxisnah empfinden, wenn unternehmerische "Erfolgsrezepte" beschrie­ ben werden, behaupten die anderen - und dies zu Recht -, daß gute Theorien sehr wohl realitätsbezogen und praxisrelevant sind. Die Betonung liegt allerdings auf guten Theorien; nicht alles, was an wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Lehr­ stühlen erarb
