Licence to Think
这篇反思文章探讨了《管理学习》期刊40卷的特质，即它为相对非传统的工作（包括思辨性文章）提供论坛，并指出维持这种论坛需要学术勇气和对抗期刊排名系统带来的趋同压力。
In this reflection on the 40th volume of Management Learning I offer some thoughts about its special character. This, I suggest, consists in part in the provision of a forum for relatively unconventional work, including speculative essays. To create and sustain such a forum requires not only intellectual courage but also a willingness to confront the proliferation of ranking systems for journals, which tend to promote conformity. Given that the pressure of such systems is increasing, the ‘thought leadership’ that can come from less conventional writing is ever more difficult to sustain, and it is to the credit of the journal that it continues to provide a home for such work.
