From Management as a Vocation to Management as a Scientific Activity: An Institutional Account of a Paradigm Shift
从制度视角分析管理教育从职业模式转向科学模式的历程，以《管理学会杂志》文章为标志检验科学管理概念的扩散模式，适合关注管理教育史和制度变迁的学者。
Using an institutional perspective, I analyze the historic circumstances surrounding the shift from a management as a vocation model to one that is scientifically based. I argue that prior to World War II, the management education field was fragmented but dominated by a vocational model in which specific trade practices and skills were taught. I trace how the institutional field shifted to embrace a model of management education that was tightly linked to empirical research. Using the Academy of Management Journal articles as a marker for this paradigm shift, I test hypotheses about the diffusion pattern of science-based concepts of management education.
