Management Theory and Social Welfare: Contributions and Challenges
本文是特刊导言，概述了管理理论与社会福利专题的动机，总结了六篇文章的贡献与共同主题，并探讨了社会福利议题在管理理论中难以处理的原因及评估方法。
In this Introduction to the Special Topic Forum on Management Theory and Social Welfare, we first provide an overview of the motivation behind the special issue. We then highlight the contributions of the six articles that make up this forum and identify some common themes. We also suggest some reasons why social welfare issues are so difficult to address in the context of management theory. In addition, we evaluate means of assessing social welfare and urge scholars not to make (or imply) unwarranted “wealth creation” claims.
