Perspectives on the Evolving “Business and Peace” Debate
反思了管理理论和商业战略在帮助商业行为体巩固和平方面的相关性和适应性，提出了一个基本分析框架，并探讨了企业参与和平建设的激励因素。
The political sciences account for most business and peace scholarship. Less is known about what management theory and business strategy insights or adaptations might be relevant or required if commercial actors are to help consolidate peace. This article reflects on challenges and opportunities for such research, observing that some cross-disciplinary dimension will sometimes be unavoidable or desirable. The article offers a basic analytical framework for approaching the topic but cautions against rigid typologies in this emerging field. Among the research challenges addressed are ideas of more deliberate, explicit business engagement in peacebuilding and the need for insights into the incentives that might drive firms to take on such roles.
