Prescriptions are not Enough
反驳了经济学因提供处方而占据主导地位的观点,指出其他社会科学也提供建议但影响力有限,呼吁管理学者更仔细地研究经济学与其他社会科学影响实践的机制。
According to Bazerman, economics has achieved its position of dominance simply because it provides prescriptions whereas other social sciences do not. We challenge his argument by showing that other social sciences do offer prescriptive advice but are nonetheless rarely influential. We argue that the mechanisms through which economics and other social sciences gain influence and affect practice should be investigated more carefully by management scholars seeking to understand how to have greater impact on both public policy and management practice.
