On the Parable of the Management Scholars and the Russia–Ukraine War
借用盲人摸象的寓言,指出管理学各子领域的学者对俄乌战争看法不一,难以全面理解,因此主张发展程序化理论,采用多层次多方法的研究来改进解释和预测。
Abstract We invoke the parable of “the blind men [sic] and the elephant” to argue that conflicting perspectives from scholars across management subfields preclude a comprehensive understanding of the Russia–Ukraine war. To address this problem, we argue for the need to develop programmatic theories that provide better explanations and predictions and guide empirical research by adopting multilevel and multimethod approaches.
