Organization and management scholars’ technological conservatism: Could we free ourselves from the shackles of paper-bound logic?
指出管理学研究者虽受益于数字革命,但仍受限于17世纪的纸质报告形式,呼吁改用数字技术全面支持的成果呈现方式以加速研究进展和扩大影响力。
Despite capitalizing on many new possibilities offered by the digital revolution, our research community still remains bound by the 17th-century technology of research results reporting. Our work can progress faster and achieve greater impact within and beyond academia if we replace the one-package manuscript form, born three hundred years ago, with a full package that takes advantage of everything digital technology has to offer. However, the switch from paper-bound to digitally enabled logic will not be easy as our thinking and practices have been formed by decades of honing skills that bring success in the current conventions.
