Bump It With a Trumpet: On the Value of Our Research to Management Education
本文回应Pearce和Huang关于管理研究影响力下降的观点，质疑其假设、逻辑、方法和数据呈现，认为该文未能提供有意义的见解。
Pearce and Huang (2012, this issue) argue that management research has had woefully little impact. In support of this contention, they attempt to demonstrate that there has been a decline in “actionable” management research in selected management journals, suggest that relatively few mentions of those journals in a publication such as The Economist are evidence of lack of impact, and offer a list of questions which they believe management research could more profitably address. I fully agree with Pearce and Huang's call to explore ways to enhance the impact of management research; however, I have serious questions about the authors' assumptions, logical development, methodology, representation of data, and recommendations. As such, whether there has actually been a decline in the impact and “actionability” of management research, I can't agree that Pearce and Huang's article provides meaningful input to this issue.
