Too much theory, not enough understanding⋆
这篇评论文章指出运营管理研究中理论使用过度但理解不足,呼吁关注理论对理解运营管理的真正意义。
Abstract This essay and the following commentaries address the use of theory in operations management. While much is said about theory in the typical journal article, theory, as science defines it, is not at the center of much of our research. The discipline had fallen into some bad habits. This essay and its commentaries appeal for more attention to what theory can mean for our understanding of operations management.
