How advanced is the strategy paradigm? The role of particularism and universalism in shaping research outcomes
通过跨学科比较和945名战略学者的纵向数据，发现战略领域兼具早期和成熟阶段特征：研究规范虽低于其他学科，但更受绩效而非非绩效因素驱动。
Abstract As the field of strategy reaches its 25th anniversary, we examine how far the field has progressed during that time. Both management and strategy research have been characterized as being in an early stage of development. We draw on Kuhn's () paradigm development model, which posits a connection between a field's stage of maturity and research processes and outcomes, to assess the maturity of the strategy field. We conduct two studies. The first is a cross‐discipline comparison of productivity norms for university faculty. The second study examines longitudinal research outcomes for a sample of 945 strategy faculty. Our results indicate that strategy has the attributes of both an early stage and mature field: while overall research norms are low relative to other fields, they are driven far more by merit‐based than non‐merit factors.
