致敬Andrew H. Van de Ven对管理理论和实践的贡献,强调他将组织现象视为演化过程,并运用参与式学术方法在创新和组织变革等领域提出新见解,为学者留下持久遗产。
This essay pays tribute to Andrew H. Van de Ven’s (1945–2022) contributions to management theory and practice. We highlight Andy’s views on organizational phenomena as evolving processes and show how he applied these, as well as his own engaged scholarship, to develop novel insights on innovation, and organizational change, among other topics. His approach to scholarship, which involved working to transform existing understandings of management theory and practice even as he performed them in his own academic activities, serves as an enduring legacy for emerging and seasoned scholars in our field.
