Truth and the Science of Management: Does the “Emperor” Still Have Any Clothes?
本文探讨管理研究中政治倡导取代客观真理追求的趋势,认为这对学科专业发展有害。
Scholars have increasingly argued for the merits of advocacy-based research versus research considered from the pursuit of objective truth. In this essay, I seek to extend Tsang's Journal of Management Inquiry essay (2022) and suggest that political advocacy has replaced the pursuit of objective truth in management research. Through the use of example, I suggest that this focus on politically based advocacy will be detrimental to the continued professional development of the management discipline.
