Putting the scholar back into scholarship, the researcher into research, the knower into knowing, the entrepreneur into entrepreneurship . . .: A call to interiority
批评管理学研究中过度关注外部因素，呼吁回归内在性，即研究者对自身认知过程的专注参与，基于Lonergan的人类认知结构框架，主张通过反思和哲学基础提升学术严谨性与相关性。
This essay challenges the prevailing externalist orientation of management scholarship by calling for a return to interiority: the attentive engagement of the researcher’s own knowing process. Anchored in Bernard Lonergan’s framing of the structure of human knowing, the authors argue that acts of experience, understanding, judgement and decision are central to scholarly rigour but often remain unexamined. Through reflexive critique and philosophical grounding, the piece advocates for a scholarship that recognises the subjectivity of the knower as a source of insight rather than bias. By ‘putting the knower back into knowing’, the authors offer a compelling agenda for integrating first-person inquiry, reflexive training, and methodological innovation in doctoral education and academic research. The essay ultimately positions interiority as a means to enhance both the relevance and rigour of academic inquiry.
