The role of ethics education in developing vital managerial competencies beyond ethical awareness and reasoning abilities has been an understudied issue. This qualitative vignette study empirically investigates how training in normative ethics influences strategic decision-making competencies, conceptualized through the lens of dynamic managerial capabilities, among executives in an executive education context. The study involved presenting two parallel vignettes depicting ethically-charged strategic decisions to executives before and after completing normative ethics courses with no intention to promote managerial competencies. Participants' responses were analyzed and categorized in terms of changes in their ability to sense opportunities and threats, shape organizational responses, seize opportunities, and reconfigure capabilities for continuous renewal and transformation. The results indicate that ethics education contributed to an overall increase in strategic competencies, particularly in seizing and reconfiguring capabilities, while the results for sensing and shaping are more mixed. Herewith, we provide some empirical evidence that ethics education has the potential to enhance strategic decision-making competencies, conceptualized as dynamic management capabilities. Overall, this study counters the narrow perspective that ethics training only develops ethical awareness. It demonstrates how ethics can be an integral part of management education aimed at holistically developing strategic leadership competencies to meet the organizational challenges of the 21st century. Implications for ethically grounded management curricula and suggestions for future research are discussed.

伦理教育在培养超越伦理意识和推理能力的重要管理能力方面的作用一直是一个未被充分研究的问题。这个定性的小插曲研究实证调查了规范性伦理培训如何影响战略决策能力，通过动态管理能力的镜头概念化，在高管教育背景下的高管。这项研究包括在完成规范伦理课程之前和之后，向高管们展示两个平行的小插曲，描述充满道德的战略决策，而无意提升管理能力。参与者的反应根据他们感知机会和威胁、塑造组织反应、抓住机会和重新配置能力以持续更新和转型的能力变化进行分析和分类。结果表明，道德教育有助于战略能力的整体提升，特别是在抓住和重新配置能力方面，而感知和塑造的结果则更为复杂。在此，我们提供了一些经验证据，证明道德教育具有提高战略决策能力的潜力，概念为动态管理能力。总的来说，本研究反驳了道德培训只培养道德意识的狭隘观点。它展示了道德如何成为管理教育的一个组成部分，旨在全面发展战略领导能力，以迎接21世纪的组织挑战。讨论了伦理基础管理课程的意义和对未来研究的建议。

As of today, the research field of entrepreneurship has developed into its own research community and needs to further develop its specific theorising to account for the distinctiveness of entrepreneurship. This becomes particularly evident with the emergence of effectuation, which is promoted as the first “homegrown” theory of entrepreneurship. The discourse on effectuation as a theory presents an interesting example which shows the challenges of discussing theory due to the different understandings of theory in entrepreneurship research. In this essay, we propose instead to examine the forms of theorising that entrepreneurship scholars engage in. Analysing 42 articles from the discourse on effectuation as a case of entrepreneurship theory, we show which forms of theorising are more prevalent than others, and which forms might be underexplored and could offer potential for future research. While we can and should continue to build on the knowledge about theory from other fields, this essay is an invitation to entrepreneurship scholars to take a step back and reflect on our own theorising in the field. With the three recommendations presented, we aim to provide a starting point for scholars to embrace the plurality of possible forms of theorising in entrepreneurship.

时至今日，创业研究领域已经形成了自己的研究共同体，需要进一步发展其具体的理论来解释创业的特殊性。随着实效性理论的出现，这一点变得尤为明显，实效性理论被推崇为第一个“本土”创业理论。关于实效性作为一种理论的论述提供了一个有趣的例子，它显示了由于创业研究中对理论的不同理解而导致讨论理论的挑战。在这篇文章中，我们建议研究创业学者参与的理论形式。分析了作为创业理论案例的42篇关于实效性的文章，我们展示了哪些形式的理论化比其他形式更普遍，哪些形式可能未被充分探索，并可能为未来的研究提供潜力。虽然我们可以而且应该继续建立在其他领域的理论知识基础上，但这篇文章是对创业学者的一个邀请，让他们退后一步，反思我们自己在这个领域的理论。通过提出三项建议，我们的目标是为学者们提供一个起点，让他们接受创业理论的多种可能形式。

Meta-organizations are created to address issues of common concern that require collaboration from various organizational actors. In crisis situations, the bringing together of independent organizations with different roles could be important to support crisis response. In this paper, we draw on a real-time qualitative case study, that of COVID-END (i.e., the COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making), to examine how and why meta-organizing might emerge, evolve and dissolve (or not) during the lifecycle of a crisis situation. We show how in the midst of a highly volatile crisis, organizations dedicated to promoting evidence-based knowledge were able to coalesce around a common goal, despite prior failed attempts to create a form of collaboration. We call this process meta-organizing on the fly and trace its development over time through periods of emergence, shapeshifting and transition that imply different forms of identity work, boundary work and practice work. We contribute to the literature by showing how an environmental shock can alter the motivational landscape for meta-organizing suddenly and intensely, and we reveal the critical, yet paradoxical role of centralized leadership in enabling it to take form and potentially sustain itself. While inter-organizational rivalry may re-emerge over time, we suggest that meta-organizing on the fly nevertheless has the potential to lead to longer term transformation of organizational relations towards enhanced collaboration, and the recreation of other meta-organizational forms.

创建元组织是为了解决共同关心的问题，这些问题需要来自不同组织参与者的协作。在危机情况下，将不同角色的独立组织聚集在一起对于支持危机应对可能很重要。在本文中，我们借鉴了COVID-END（即支持决策的COVID-19证据网络）的实时定性案例研究，以研究在危机局势的生命周期中元组织可能出现、演变和解散（或不出现）的方式和原因。我们展示了在高度动荡的危机中，致力于促进基于证据的知识的组织如何能够围绕一个共同的目标团结起来，尽管之前试图建立一种合作形式的尝试失败了。我们称这个过程为动态元组织，并通过出现、变形和过渡的时期追踪其发展，这意味着不同形式的身份工作、边界工作和实践工作。我们通过展示环境冲击如何突然而强烈地改变元组织的动机景观来为文献做出贡献，我们揭示了集中领导在使其形成和潜在地维持自身方面的关键而矛盾的作用。虽然组织间的竞争可能会随着时间的推移而重新出现，但我们认为，动态的元组织仍有可能导致组织关系向加强合作的长期转变，并重新创造其他元组织形式。

Visibility tensions in temporal work 时间工作中的可视性紧张

This paper explores visibility tensions in temporal work. Existing research has highlighted how diverging temporal orientations can challenge collaboration between organizational actors. Previous studies have emphasised how objects, such as timelines, are used to make certain aspects of temporal dynamics visible and manageable and that temporal orientations stretch beyond the immediate situation to include various pasts, presents, and futures. Although these studies underscore the crucial role of actors and objects in coordinating diverse temporal orientations, they have primarily focused on how objects make time visible and manageable. This paper examines what we term visibility tensions in temporal work through a 27-month qualitative case study of project managers working on interorganisational projects. We found that project managers practiced two types of temporal work aimed at producing and maintaining structures for keeping the project on track: ordering and curating. These forms of temporal work involved the use of boundary objects and aided collaboration because they made specific versions of time visible and shared in socially recognisable ways. However, we also found puzzling visibility tensions around the curating work involved with maintaining such important shared temporal orientation. We contribute to the literature on temporality in interorganisational collaboration via our theorisation of visibility tensions in temporal work and discuss implications for future research and practice.

本文探讨了时间作品中的可见性张力。现有的研究强调了不同的时间取向如何挑战组织参与者之间的合作。之前的研究强调了物体（如时间线）如何被用来使时间动态的某些方面可见和可管理，以及时间方向如何超越当前情况，包括各种过去、现在和未来。尽管这些研究强调了行为者和对象在协调不同时间取向方面的关键作用，但它们主要关注对象如何使时间可见和可管理。本文通过对从事跨组织项目的项目经理进行为期27个月的定性案例研究，考察了我们所谓的时间工作中的可见性紧张。我们发现，项目经理实践了两种类型的临时性工作，旨在产生和维护结构，以保持项目在轨道上：排序和策划。这些形式的时间工作涉及使用边界对象和辅助协作，因为它们使特定版本的时间可见，并以社会可识别的方式共享。然而，我们也发现围绕策展工作的令人困惑的可见性紧张关系，涉及保持如此重要的共享时间方向。我们通过对时间工作中可见性紧张的理论化，为组织间合作中的时间性文献做出了贡献，并讨论了对未来研究和实践的影响。

How central banks cope with price instabilities: Ambiguous inflation targets as organizational compromise 央行如何应对价格不稳定：模糊的通胀目标是组织妥协

Inflation is a central issue in the current economic and geopolitical crisis. Since the 1980s, its stabilization has been an objective of Western central banks: they communicate an inflation target that is supposed to “anchor” the expectations. Contrary to theoretical recommendations, most central banks have maintained a vagueness in their quantification of the target, whether in the form of a range of rates or an assessment such as “below” or “on average” (e.g. the Fed or the ECB). After outlining four explanations of this fact from the literature, this paper presents a fifth explanation based on a historical case study of the Belgian Central Bank, according to which the vagueness of the inflation target constitutes a “device” allowing central bankers to establish intra- and inter-organizational compromises.

通货膨胀是当前经济和地缘政治危机的核心问题。自20世纪80年代以来，稳定通胀一直是西方央行的一个目标：他们制定通胀目标，以“锚定”预期。与理论建议相反，大多数央行在量化目标方面一直保持模糊，无论是以利率区间的形式，还是以“低于”或“平均”等评估的形式（例如美联储或欧洲央行）。在从文献中概述了对这一事实的四种解释之后，本文基于比利时中央银行的历史案例研究提出了第五种解释，根据这种解释，通胀目标的模糊性构成了一种“手段”，允许中央银行家建立组织内部和组织间的妥协。

A world of poly-crisis stimulates concept formation. A popular term for understanding these events is ‘New Normal’. The increased use of this term reflects a demand for making sense of a world characterized by unpredictability and complexity. We will examine how the term New Normal is understood and used in current academic writing and what may these meanings imply for business? This article offers an integrative literature review of 307 articles published between 2006 and early 2023. Our review reveals significant empirical variation while at the ontological level we propose two categories: Those who claim we are in a new steady state vs. those who understand the current business environment as dominated by flux. To enable inferences about strategy and organizations, authors at a minimum need to be clear whether they perceive the new normal as a steady state or a permanent state of flux.

一个多重危机的世界刺激了概念的形成。理解这些事件的一个流行术语是“新常态”。越来越多地使用这一术语反映了人们对理解一个以不可预测性和复杂性为特征的世界的需求。我们将研究“新常态”一词在当前学术写作中是如何被理解和使用的，以及这些含义对商业可能意味着什么？本文对2006年至2023年初发表的307篇文章进行了综合文献综述。我们的回顾揭示了显著的经验差异，而在本体论层面上，我们提出了两类观点：那些声称我们处于一个新的稳定状态的人与那些认为当前商业环境由变化主导的人。为了能够对战略和组织进行推断，作者至少需要清楚他们是将新常态视为稳定状态还是永久的变化状态。

This Special Issue marks the 30th anniversary of the influential 1995 Special Issue on Temporary Organizations in the Scandinavian Journal of Management, which redefined projects as time-bound, and action-based organizations. That issue initiated a "soul-searching" journey, sparking a vibrant academic field. Today, the field offers nuanced insights into temporary organizing, gaining broader recognition in management and organization studies. This anniversary prompts renewed soul-searching: Do the original ideas still resonate? How should the field evolve amid contemporary challenges? What responsibilities do scholars bear? We reflect on creating and nurturing the soul of an academic field, and suggest future paths for soulful and responsible scholarship in temporary organizations.

本期特刊标志着1995年颇具影响力的《斯堪的纳维亚管理杂志》临时组织特刊30周年，该特刊将项目重新定义为有时限的、基于行动的组织。这个问题引发了一场“自我反省”之旅，引发了一个充满活力的学术领域。今天，这个领域为临时组织提供了细致入微的见解，在管理和组织研究中获得了更广泛的认可。周年纪念促使人们重新反省：最初的想法还能引起共鸣吗？在当代的挑战中，该领域应该如何发展？学者承担什么责任？我们对创造和培养一个学术领域的灵魂进行了反思，并提出了在临时组织中培养有灵魂和负责任的学术的未来道路。

Making sense of an impending failure: How grief becomes actionable hope in environmental campaigning 理解即将到来的失败：悲伤如何在环保运动中变成可行的希望

How do environmental campaigners make sense of a global failure to contain climate change below a critical threshold while continuing their campaigning? We find that the campaigners consider impending failure through different temporal lenses that provoke emotional responses. After acknowledging the failure, the campaigners engage in retrospection, triggering emotions of grief at what is ‘already lost’. Their grieving leads to a prospective lens that is characterized by their fear of what the future will hold. Then asking themselves how to nevertheless maintain hope, the campaigners turn to actions that mitigate temperature rise even “by a few decimals”, and hence, reduce suffering. The campaigners’ focus on the present offers actionable hope. We contribute to the literature on sensemaking by examining how the different yet overlapping temporal foci and their emotional responses lead the campaigners to overcome their perception of an existential crisis facing humankind, calibrate their expectations of what is still possible, and renew their commitment to action. We contribute to temporary organizing literature by studying campaigners that meet a failure with a pursuit of further action, and in the process, find actionable hope.

环保人士在继续他们的运动的同时，如何理解全球未能将气候变化控制在一个关键阈值以下？我们发现，竞选者通过不同的时间透镜来考虑即将到来的失败，这些透镜会引发情绪反应。在承认失败后，活动人士会进行回顾，引发“已经失去”的悲伤情绪。他们的悲伤导致了他们对未来的恐惧。然后问自己如何保持希望，活动家们转向采取行动来减缓气温上升，即使是“几个小数”，从而减少痛苦。竞选者对当前的关注提供了可行的希望。我们通过研究不同但重叠的时间焦点及其情绪反应如何引导活动家克服他们对人类面临的生存危机的看法，校准他们对仍然可能的期望，并重新承诺采取行动，从而为意义建构的文献做出贡献。我们通过研究那些面对失败而追求进一步行动的活动家，并在此过程中找到可行的希望，为临时组织文献做出贡献。

The theory of temporary organization three decades later: Re-visiting the 4 T framework, focusing tensions, adding project plasticity 三十年后的临时组织理论：重新访问4 T框架，聚焦张力，增加项目可塑性

For more than three decades, the notion of temporary organization in general, and the 4 T framework in particular, has informed research on managing projects. In a similarly important way, it has helped to connect this field of scholarly inquiry more closely with management and organization studies. While the 4 T framework with its four dimensions (time, task, team, and transition) has often been referred to, few have criticized or developed it further. In this paper we review the respective literature and propose to focus more on practices and tensions and, in particular, add the tension-ridden concept of project plasticity, which captures the ability of projects to change substantially and yet stay the same in the eyes of those involved. But instead of adding a fifth T, we highlight with this addition the fundamental tension between stability and change. Like the classic and already well-researched tension between organizational autonomy and contextual embeddedness this particular tension is not only extremely relevant for managing temporary organizations, but also cuts across the four classic dimensions and refines our understanding of the dynamic nature inherent to temporary organizations. We illustrate our argument with the example of an interorganizational project from the construction industry.

三十多年来，临时组织的概念，特别是4 T框架，已经为管理项目的研究提供了信息。以同样重要的方式，它有助于将这一学术研究领域与管理和组织研究更紧密地联系起来。虽然经常提到具有四个维度（时间、任务、团队和转换）的4 T框架，但很少有人批评或进一步发展它。在本文中，我们回顾了各自的文献，并建议更多地关注实践和紧张关系，特别是增加项目可塑性的紧张感概念，它捕获了项目发生实质性变化的能力，但在参与者眼中保持不变。但是，我们没有增加第五个T，而是强调了稳定与变化之间的基本张力。就像组织自主性和上下文嵌入性之间的经典和已经得到充分研究的紧张关系一样，这种特殊的紧张关系不仅与管理临时组织极其相关，而且跨越了四个经典维度，并改进了我们对临时组织固有的动态性质的理解。我们以建筑业的一个跨组织项目为例来说明我们的论点。

But instead of adding a fifth T, we highlight with this addition the fundamental tension between stability and change. Like the classic and already well-researched tension between organizational autonomy and contextual embeddedness this particular tension is not only extremely relevant for managing temporary organizations, but also cuts across the four classic dimensions and refines our understanding of the dynamic nature inherent to temporary organizations. We illustrate our argument with the example of an interorganizational project from the construction industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47759,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management","volume":"41 2","pages":"Article 101405"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144262632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
