1999 Presidential Address: Changes in Organizational Knowledge Production
探讨商业及其他组织内知识生产的激增对商学院教学与研究模式的挑战,主张在靠近组织知识生产的同时保持学术的概括与抽象优势。
The explosion of knowledge production within business and other organizations \nposes a critical challenge to current modes of teaching and research within our \nbusiness schools. We need to consider new strategic positions closer to the knowledge \nproduction being carried on within the organizations we study, without assuming that \nimmediate relevance is our primary objective. The academic advantage, in my opinion, \nstill lies in generalization and abstraction.
