TWO STRATEGIES FOR INDUCTIVE REASONING IN ORGANIZATIONAL RESEARCH.
探讨了组织研究中归纳推理的不完备性问题，分析了理想化和情境化两种实用策略，帮助研究者更有效地论证和评估理论结论。
Incompleteness of inductive reasoning presents an enduring dilemma to organizational research. We examine two practical reasoning strategies—idealization and contextualization—that can be used at the pinnacle of this dilemma: when theoretical conclusions are drawn from empirical data. Understanding the two strategies can lead to more effective argumentation and evaluation. Appreciating the methodological incompleteness of both strategies in turn helps us distinguish between the methodological and the policy dimensions of organization-scientific debates.
