Reform without a Theory: Why Does it Work in China?
质疑渐进与激进改革的二分法，提出中国改革是一种“无理论”策略，并从儒家概念框架出发，分析历史结构因素如何使精英选择、民众接受并成功实施这一策略，对组织研究中的结构多元性、战略变革和情境创业等议题有启示。
The gradualism—radicalism debate on China's reform is misleading. The reform can alternatively be seen as one without a theory. The question is why a no-theory `strategy' was `selected' by the Chinese elite, `accepted' by the Chinese people and `worked' in the Chinese context. An investigation based on a Confucian conceptual framework suggests that reform-without-a-theory was facilitated by a set of historically specific structural factors, factors full of complementarities and tensions that skilled actors were able to exploit to pursue sectional interests. The implications of China's reform for organization studies are explored along three interrelated lines: structural plurality and strategic change, structural transformation and differential agency, and situated entrepreneurship and unintended consequences.
