Determinants and Development of Schools in Organization Theory
探讨组织理论中新学派如何成为独立、合法的理论框架，提出学派需兼具新颖性、连续性和范围，并讨论这些属性如何促进学派的识别、吸收及实证研究。
This article focuses on “schooling” in organization theory: the process through which new schools of thought become established as distinct, legitimate theoretical frameworks. It is argued that evolving schools of thought must display a combination of novelty, continuity, and scope to achieve school status. These attributes are described and their role in promoting the detection and assimilation of a school’s intellectual products, as well as the creation of a stream of empirical research, are discussed. Eight testable propositions from the theoretical model are derived and implications for future research are discussed.
