Change and Development in a Pluralistic World: the View From the Classics
探讨了研究经典著作对理解变迁与多元主义的重要性，指出经典塑造了当今世界、扩展了理论选择，并批判其隐含假设可推动变革。
The study of the classics in our field is important to the themes of this special issue because (1) the classics have shaped the world we live in; (2) studying the classics enlarges our theoretical alternatives; and (3) the critique of taken-for-granted assumptions enshrined in the classics can spur change, development, and pluralism. We briefly review a selection of classic writings to illustrate how change and pluralism have been presented as threats, as opportunities for the management of innovation, and as intrinsic aspects of management.
