What Is the Future of Future Making in Management Research?
这篇辩论文章探讨管理研究中“未来构建”这一新兴主题的现状与前景，针对气候变化、不平等、民主危机等社会挑战，分析其在组织内外作为分析对象和学术探究方式的发展方向。
Abstract Future making, the work of enacting the yet‐to‐come by making sense of and giving form to imaginings of the future, has become topical in management studies lately. Triggered by pressing societal challenges like climate change, inequality and threatened democratic institutions vis‐à‐vis a societal ‘crisis mode’, management scholars have started to engage with the future as an open‐ended temporal category, both as an object of analysis happening in and around organizations, as well as a way of scholarly inquiry. This Point‐Counterpoint debate about future making in management research comes right on time, as future‐making research seems to be at a crossroads, potentially heading to a bright – or not so bright – future. The contributions to this debate collectively ask: What is the future of future making in management research, and they could not be more different in the pathways they envisage.
