探讨将科学可视化这一新研究工具应用于组织研究的理论基础,认为同时展示变量和组织实体能简化分析,并讨论了研究与实践的应用前景。
ABSTRACT This article examines the rationale for the application of a new research tool, scientific visualization, to the study of organizations. Based upon a general theory of visualization, the ability to simultaneously display both variables and organizational entities should allow for easier and more widespread analysis of organizational research issues. Applications and future directions for both research and praxis are discussed.
