Evaluating Causal Explanations of Specific Events
提出评估特定事件因果解释的理论与标准，并通过分析本田成功进入美国摩托车市场的不同解释来展示这些标准。
Organizational life and research regularly involve having to explain specific events. This paper considers how such explanations might be evaluated. We outline a theory of causal explanations as answers to why-questions and introduce criteria to assess such explanations. The criteria are illustrated via an analysis of different explanations proposed for the remarkable success of Honda’s entry into the US motorcycle market.
