Conducting Influential Research: The Need for Prescriptive Implications
回应Ferraro等人关于经济学主导地位的观点，认为其他社会科学应内化挑战、提供有用规范建议，而非外化指责，以增强自身影响力。
Ferraro, Pfeffer, and Sutton argue that the core basis for the dominance of economics lies in the institutionalization of the norms and language of economics. I argue that they externalize the blame for the failure of other social sciences, and I challenge the other social sciences to develop a research agenda that is capable of providing useful prescriptions to individuals, organizations, and society. I believe that internalizing the challenge, rather then externalizing the blame, is key to making the other social sciences more powerful.
