The Driver of New Theory Development in Management Studies: Imagination or Rigour?
探讨管理研究新理论发展的驱动力是想象力还是严谨性，指出学术研究已走出象牙塔，面临公众和资助方的问责，人们关注研究是否真正推动管理领域进步。
Today, the world of academia and the scholarship it produces has moved out its traditional ivory tower and found itself front and centre in various debates within the popular press. This is certainly the case within management studies where debates regarding open access to scientific research and the continuing use of research assessment reviews proliferate in many countries. The interest in scholarly output is primarily driven by a need for accountability as government agencies and other interested parties who financially support the work that ultimately is published in scholarly journals demand to know what they are paying for. In the simplest terms, people want to know what researchers are doing and if they are really progressing the field of management forward.
