Keeping the Tension: Pressures to Keep the Controversy in the Management Discipline
分类了管理学期刊中九种学科方法,指出这些方法源于学术研究面临的科学性与实用性的冲突压力,并强调公开讨论有助于学科成员持续评估现有研究和新趋势的价值。
Management journals often contain heated discussions about disciplinary approaches, or how and whether to legitimate different kinds of research. The author classifies nine such approaches in a typology. These varied approaches arise because none can fully accommodate the conflicting scientific and pragmatic pressures placed on academic research. The airing of these views, however, helps members of the discipline meet their responsibility to re-evaluate the value of existing research and new currents in an ongoing fashion.
