Environmental sustainability and management theory development: Post‐paradigm insights from the Anthropocene
这篇概念性综述重新审视了管理理论发展中的长期假设，批判了范式不可通约性，提出“认识论泛archy”概念，并基于利益相关者理论构建了与环境可持续性相协调的元认识论研究议程。
Abstract Given a looming crisis of environmental degradation, this conceptual review revisits certain long‐standing assumptions informing the development of management theory. Specifically, we problematise seminal notions of paradigm differentiation at the heart of Burrell and Morgan's theory of paradigms by arguing that assumptions of paradigm incommensurability amount to abdication of a responsibility to consider cross‐cutting existential imperatives. In developing the concept of epistemological panarchy, we build on some ideas of stakeholder theory to suggest a research agenda concerned with developing an improved meta‐epistemology aligned with concerns of environmental sustainability.
