Abstract

Professor Dennis Tourish’s recent essay ( AMLE , March 2020) provides an analysis of why business schools and management education are perceived to be in a state of crisis. This commentary focuses on one important aspect of Tourish’s criticism of the management education field; namely, the quality, value, and appropriateness of the field’s research in advancing knowledge. His main criticisms are that the failure of management research arises from its extremely strong focus on theory development, its inadequate writing, and the formulaic, template style and formal structure of research papers in leading journals. Indeed, the rules and practices underlying the development of this portfolio of management research seems to have been defined by academia itself.

废话在管理学研究中的胜利:评论
Dennis Tourish教授最近的一篇文章(AMLE, 2020年3月)分析了为什么商学院和管理教育被认为处于危机状态。这篇评论集中在图里什对管理教育领域的批评的一个重要方面;即,该领域研究在推进知识方面的质量、价值和适当性。他的主要批评是,管理学研究的失败源于对理论发展的过分关注、写作的不足,以及主要期刊上研究论文的公式化、模版风格和正式结构。事实上,这些管理研究组合发展背后的规则和实践似乎是由学术界自己定义的。
