Research Methods for Organizational Learning: The Transatlantic Gap
通过分析295篇英美期刊的组织学习论文，发现数据来源、收集方式和研究规模存在显著差异，讨论了这些差距对研究的影响及弥合方法。
Research design has a notable impact on the nature of management and organizational research, and there have been numerous mentions, largely anecdotal, of differences in research design between journals published in the UK and USA. This article describes a systematic study of these supposed differences through content-analysis of 295 articles about organizational learning published in eight leading British- and US-based journals over the past 20 years. The results demonstrate substantial differences in data sources, data collection, and the scale of investigations. We discuss their impact on gaps in the study o f organizational learning and o f fer our own thoughts on possible solutions (as well as challenges) for bridging these gaps.
