管理学门类的诞生:知识划界与学科体系

Demarcation and Formation of Disciplinary Category of Management in China

本文以科学社会学中关于划界活动的研究为理论工具,勾勒出管理学在门类成立前的发展脉络,以期对管理学门类的形成过程做一番历史梳理。本文发现,系统论深刻影响了中国管理学的形成和发展,在系统论的影响下,"管理科学与工程"得以发展壮大,成为管理学门类独立的重要推动力量;另一方面,系统无处不在的思想观念以及系统论对信息的重视和强调,与国家将"公共管理"、"农林经济管理"和"图书馆、情报和档案管理"纳入管理学门类相切合。
