A Faustian Bargain? The Growth of Management and Its Relationship with Related Disciplines
研究分析了1980至2005年间《管理学会期刊》的引文数据，揭示管理学与经济学、心理学、社会学等学科关联的时间变化，探讨对学科现状与未来的启示。
In an effort to respond to concerns regarding academic rigor expressed in the 1950s, management researchers turned to more established disciplines to help develop a stronger intellectual climate. We examine the evolution of management research over the past 25 years, with a focus on its relationship with the related disciplines of economics, psychology, and sociology. Using citation data for all Academy of Management Journal articles published between 1980 and 2005, we document the temporal changes in disciplinary interlinkages. We discuss the implications of these findings for the current and future state of our field.
