Media for reflection: A comparison of renaissance mirrors for princes and contemporary management education
提出“反思的媒介”概念，分析文艺复兴时期的君主宝鉴与当代管理教育如何以不同方式促成和限制反思，对管理教育实践者理解反思的社会文化中介作用有启发。
This article develops the concept media for reflection in the interest of conceptualizing the interpretative frames that enable and limit reflection in management and leadership education. The concept ‘media for reflection’ allows us to conceptualize the social and cultural mediation of reflection without reducing reflection to an effect of the social structures and cultural norms in which it is embedded. Based on the developed theoretical framework, this article analyses how a renaissance ‘mirror for princes’ and contemporary research-based management education mediate reflection. The content of the mediations is analysed as well as the societal and organizational background. Furthermore, the means by which the two media enable and limit reflection in different ways is compared. Finally, the article discusses possible implications of the analysis in terms of management and leadership education.
