Let’s Fix our Own Problem: Quelling the Irresponsible Research Perfect Storm
用“完美风暴”比喻指出,多个因素汇聚导致不负责任的研究问题,并认为管理理论可解决,但因“研究-研究差距”未被应用。提出四类建议,包括促进利益相关者共同治理、扩大影响力定义、为期刊编辑提供资源、加强学者能力。
Abstract We invoke the metaphor of the perfect storm and argue that several factors have converged to create what we label the irresponsible research perfect storm . Many of these issues can be fixed by applying management theories, but we argue this has not been done due to the existence of a research‐research gap . Akin to the research‐practice gap, the research‐research gap is a disconnect between the research academics are producing and the research academics ourselves are using to manage our own business schools, journals, professional associations, and careers. Accordingly, we offer four sets of theory‐based recommendations to quell this storm and narrow the research‐research gap: (1) promote shared governance and accountability across stakeholder groups, (2) expand the definition of scholarly impact, (3) provide journal editors with relevant resources, and (4) strengthen the knowledge, skills, and abilities of current and future scholars.
