Introduction to Special Topic Forum: Where are the New Theories of Organization?
总结了专题论坛文章的内容,指出多数文章并未提出新理论,而是批判现有组织理论并探讨理论构建过程,最后推测新理论创造的制度障碍及可能的改变方式。
We summarize the manifest and latent content of the articles that make up the Special Topic Forum on Theory Development. Rather than offering new theories, however, most of the articles offer a series of critical accounts of current organizational theory and a range of novel ideas about the process of theory construction. We conclude by speculating about the institutional barriers to new theory creation and how those barriers might be changed.
