Does anyone have a view on the use of various management models, for example in course materials for a Management Course? It seems to me that the theoretical side of the model is not protected, but what about the diagram that is normally employed to demonstrate the ideas? (eg Mazlow hierarchies etc)

 These models seem to be so ubiquitous, can it really be the case that every author/publisher of a textbook etc has to have clearances for the use of each theory illustrated?

Would be glad of your thoughts
