Mission Accomplished? Reflecting on 60 Years of Business & Society
通过分析《商业与社会》期刊的编辑评论和发表文章，评估其60年来的使命实现情况，并利用机器学习比较其与同类期刊的独特性，发现其使命基本实现，但需加强社会-商业关系研究和跨学科批判视角。
Business & Society’ s 60th anniversary affords an opportunity to reflect on the journal’s achievements in the context of the wider field. We analyze editorial commentaries to map the evolving mission of the journal, assess the achievement of the journal’s mission through a thematic analysis of published articles, and examine Business & Society’ s distinctiveness relative to peer journals using a machine learning approach. Our analysis highlights subtle shifts in Business & Society’ s mission and content over time, reflecting variation in the relative emphasis on scholarly quality versus policy/practice relevance, and building the journal and its academic community versus addressing issues of concern to wider society. While Business & Society’ s intended missions have been substantially and sequentially achieved, an increased emphasis on the society-business nexus and a critical approach to interdisciplinarity could further enhance Business & Society’ s leading role within business and society research and attract new generations of contributors and readers.
