An Extraordinary Concept in the Ordinary Service of Management
本文评述了Mele、Randels和Schrag三位学者关于忠诚概念的研究，指出他们虽赋予忠诚特殊地位，却将其服务于传统管理思维，引发对忠诚在组织中真正作用的思考。
The papers by Mele, Randels, and Schrag call attention to the proper work that the concept of loyalty can perform. All three authors argue that loyalty is not taken seriously enough in modern corporations. As Mele, Randels, and Schrag independently ascribe special status to the concept of loyalty, their analyses converge along numerous conceptual margins. Along these margins, a singular conception of loyalty comes into focus. Along these margins, we can see simultaneously why each author assigns extraordinary status to loyalty and why, ironically, each turns the special concept of loyalty over to the service of conventional management thinking. Mele, Randels, and Schrag leave it for us to ponder whether this ironic twist is unique to the concept of loyalty.
