The search for asterisks: Compromised statistical tests and flawed theories
讨论了重复检验导致虚假统计显著性的问题,以及专业规范(如排斥复制研究和非显著结果)如何削弱实证理论基础,对战略管理研究提出改进建议。
Abstract This paper discusses repeated tests and the resultant reporting of statistical significance when it is actually not present. These errors interact with professional norms such as biases against both replication studies and ‘non‐results’ to undermine the efficacy of our base of empirically tested theory. This raises serious issues for the future of strategic management research. Suggestions are made for dealing with these issues substantively and in terms of professional norms.
