摘要

商业的目的是什么?虽然大多数人都同意商业最低限度地涉及价值的创造,但价值的模糊双重形象困扰着我们对目的的讨论。单个公司的价值形象是建立在整体商业价值形象之上的。这两个图像不能匹配。事实上,由此产生的概念模糊是构成谬误的一个经典例子。我们绝不能把局部的性质误认为整体的性质。企业理论无法处理我们对商业实践的诸多期望。因此,我们试图建立一种商业理论的开端,一种既经验又规范的理论。我们提出了关于企业的目的、责任、控制和成功的四个核心命题,最后考虑了未来几年等待我们的几个重要理论问题和实践机会。

Toward a theory of business

What is the purpose of business? While most agree that business minimally involves the creation of value, a blurred double image of value haunts our discussion of purpose. The image of what counts as value for a single firm is laid atop an image of what counts as value for business in general. These two images cannot match. Indeed, the resulting conceptual blurriness is a classic example of a composition fallacy. We should never mistake the properties of a part for the properties of the whole. A theory of the firm is ill equipped to handle the many expectations we hold for business practice. As such, we seek to establish the beginnings of a theory of business, one that is both empirical and normative. Offering four central propositions about the purpose, accountability, control and success of business, we close with a consideration of several important theoretical issues and practical opportunities that await us in the years ahead.

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
