Across the Great Divide: Knowledge Creation and Transfer Between Practitioners and Academics
探讨了组织研究发现与管理实践之间的差距,通过论坛文章的数据分析学术与实践者在知识创造和传播中的角色,并基于知识创造理论提出提升研究价值与相关性的建议。
Observers have long noted a considerable gap between organizational research findings and management practices. Although volumes have been written about the probable causes and consequences of this gap, surprisingly little empirical evidence exists concerning the various viewpoints. The articles in this forum provide data on the role of academic-practitioner relationships in both generating and disseminating knowledge across boundaries. The contributions of each article are summarized in light of recent theories of knowledge creation, and suggestions are made for increasing the value and relevance of future research to both academics and practitioners.
