Citation footprints on the sands of time: An analysis of idea migrations in strategic management
通过分析1980-2009年《战略管理杂志》的引文数据,用三种方法绘制了战略管理领域的知识演化图谱,揭示了其与其他学科的输入输出关系,发现与金融、社会学、国际商务和创业的联系增强。
We elucidate the intellectual progression of the strategic management field by examining knowledge flows to and from the Strategic Management Journal ( SMJ ) during the period 1980–2009. We provide a detailed mapping of the evolution of the intellectual structure of the field and identify its input‐output dependency relationships with other fields. Analysis of citation data using three analytic techniques: log‐multiplicative model, pathfinder analysis, and entropy analysis allow us to discern strategic management's influence on and engagement with other disciplines. The results show that, within the intellectual universe of strategic management, SMJ has played a central role, both as a source and storer of knowledge. We notice that, over time, there has been a decline in practitioner orientation, greater communication with finance and sociology, and increasing linkages with international business and entrepreneurship.
