Academy of Management Journal Editors' Forum
讨论了美国学术界对管理实践的影响,特别是代理理论如何塑造了对管理者的信任问题,以及研究视角偏向高层管理或所有者的现象。
The article discusses the influence of academics on management practice in the U.S. One group of scholars believes that certain academic theories, particularly agency theory, have had a pronounced influence on management practice. Some contend agency theory has taught that managers cannot be trusted to do their jobs. Other scholars argue that management theorists have privileged certain stakeholders over others by conducting the vast majority of research from the perspective of top management or ownership.
