MOR Special Issue: Indigenous Management Research in China
该特刊强调本土研究对理解中国管理现象的必要性,呼吁通过本土研究修正、补充甚至替代西方管理理论,适合关注中国管理情境的学者。
It has been long recognized that indigenous research should be helpful, if not essential, for an adequate understanding of any local phenomenon. The indigenous approach is consistent with the repeated calls for contextualizing organization research. Paradoxically, globalization gives rise to a greater need for indigenous research so as to adequately analyze each unique local context in which multinational firms operate. In particular, given the fact that most of the extant theories of management and organization are built upon the cultural values and empirical evidence in the West, it is imperative to conduct indigenous research to likely revise and modify, potentially supplement and enrich, or even supersede and replace the Western theories.
