A Transition Perspective for Business School Research and Education in China
运用转型研究中的多层次视角，分析中国商学院体系可能发生的转型，并探讨转型管理理论及政治因素在其中的作用，为理解商学院变革提供框架。
Abstract In this perspective article, I draw on transition research that has been developed to account for the transitions in many socio-technical systems within human society, such as energy, water, and food. I argue that many ideas developed in transition research can be applied to the ecosystem of contemporary business schools in China for its transformation. Using the multi-level perspective (MLP) from transition research as an analytic framework, I examine the socio-technical system of business schools in China for understanding the main forces that may shape a potential transition of the sector. I also draw on transition management theory and insights from research on the politics of transitions for important conditions that are required to enable a transition in this specific context.
