You Can't Expect Rationality from Pregnant Men: Reflections on Multi‐disciplinarity in Management Research
辩论了两个问题：多学科管理研究是否构成独特方法（答案是否，因为多学科是管理研究的唯一方式），以及我们能否理性选择多学科管理研究（答案也是否，因为管理本质上就是多学科的）。
The paper attempts to debate and answer two questions: (1) Does multi‐disciplinary research in management constitute a distinctive approach? To which the brief answer is `no', because multi‐disciplinary research is not one approach among all those others which can also be applied when researching management. Multi‐disciplinary research into management is, as it were, the only game in town. (2) Can we rationally choose multi‐disciplinary research into management as such at all? To which the response is also `no', because management research and multi‐disciplinarity are inseparable, by reason of the fact that management is, in its very essence, multi‐disciplinary, rather than mono‐disciplinary, in nature.
