Science and Ethics: What Should Count as Evidence Against the Use of Goal Setting?
审视了Ordóñez等人用于支持谨慎使用目标设定的三类证据（实验室实验、媒体报道、组织绩效），并指出分歧难以调和。
Executive Overview Ordóñez, Schweitzer, Galinsky, and Bazerman (2009a, 2009b) drew upon three sources of information to buttress their conclusion that goal setting should be used in organizations with extreme caution: laboratory experiments, stories in the news media about prescription drugs that have negative side effects, and organizations that have not performed effectively. In this paper we examine these three sources. We conclude by recognizing that our disagreements with Ordóñez are not small and list several reasons why we are not sanguine about the possibility of reconciliation.
