How Do We Justify Knowledge Produced Within Interpretive Approaches?
探讨了解释性方法在管理科学中应用时,如何确立合理的标准来证明其研究结果的可靠性,并提出了具体策略,通过组织中的能力研究案例加以说明。
The use of interpretive approaches within management and organizational sciences has increased substantially. However, appropriate criteria for justifying research results from interpretive approaches have not developed so rapidly alongside their adaptation. This article examines the potential of common criteria for justifying knowledge produced within interpretive approaches. Based on this investigation, appropriate criteria are identified and a strategy for achieving them is proposed. Finally, an interpretive study of competence in organizations is used to demonstrate how the proposed criteria and strategy can be applied to justify knowledge produced within interpretive approaches.
