When Mindsets Collide: Switching Analytical Mindsets to Advance Organization Science
提出切换分析思维模式能带来新理论见解,通过两个例子展示这种切换如何激发创造性思维,帮助研究者找到新的理论焦点,并强调方法论在理论构建中的重要性。
Analytic techniques have associated mindsets that can determine the way scholars conceptualize their objects of study. I propose that switching these "analytical mindsets" can lead to new theoretical insights. Using two examples, I show how switching analytical mindsets allows for divergent, creative thinking that can help researchers generate new theoretical foci. I conclude by discussing the importance of attending to methodology when engaging in the process of theory construction.
