Getting Too Close to the Fire: The Challenge of Engaging Stories and Saving Lives
重新审视1959年两份基金会报告，指出将分析方法等同于卓越管理绩效的混淆是核心问题，强调研究者与实践者需保持批判距离和各自身份认同。
There is a long and troubled history in the relationship between management research and management practice. Much is often made of the negative impact in terms of management practice of the two so‐called foundation reports both published in 1959 in the USA. A re‐reading of these, however, suggests that the bigger issue is the conflation of analytical approaches with superior management performance. This remains a basis for researchers and practitioners to engage, but such engagement also requires a sense of critical distance and distinct identities between the two groups, which recognizes the differing nature of practice knowledge alongside research‐based knowledge.
