Impact and Management Research: Exploring Relationships between Temporality, Dialogue, Reflexivity and Praxis
介绍了一期关于影响的特刊，综合了对话、反思和实践等主题，通过分析影响的对象和形式提出了四种理想类型，并指出时间性对理解影响至关重要。
This paper introduces the special issue focusing on impact. We present the four papers in the special issue and synthesize their key themes, including dialogue, reflexivity and praxis. In addition, we expand on understandings of impact by exploring how, when and for whom management research creates impact and we elaborate four ideal types of impact by articulating both the constituencies for whom impact occurs and the forms it might take. We identify temporality as critical to a more nuanced conceptualization of impact and suggest that some forms of impact are performative in nature. We conclude by suggesting that management as a discipline would benefit from widening the range of comparator disciplines to include disciplines such as art, education and nursing where practice, research and scholarship are more overtly interwoven.
