中国本土管理学何以可能——对“独特性”的追问、确证与范式革命

How Can Chinese Indigenous Management Theory Exist: On the Questioning of Uniqueness,Confirmation and Paradigm Revolution

将中国本土管理存在的基础建立在"中国管理情境"的特殊性之上是不可靠的,国内管理学术界当前主流的"情境化研究"不一定能产生中国本土管理学。这是因为,由于辅助假设的存在,"情境独特性"既无法被确证,也无法被否证,因此,中国本土管理学必须立基于"视角的独特性"。"视角的独特性"而非"情境的独特性"才是中国本土管理学可靠的基础;从而也是本土研究与非本土研究的真正分水岭,并且,仅有视角的独特性还不够,按照拉卡托斯的观点,这种视角的独特性必须强大到突破原有理论的"硬核",才有可能成为新的理论体系。这种对原来理论体系硬核的突破无疑就是库恩所说的范式革命。

According to the view of WHETTEN, unless all the Western theories can not explain local phenomena, local studies will be unnecessary. That means, ＂if the existing Western theories can explain the phenomenon of local Chinese management, why create a Chinese Indigenous Management Theory？ ＂ Based on the philosophy of science, WHETTEN view can not be falsifiable because the presence of auxiliary assumptions. Unique context could neither be confirmed, nor be falsified. Therefore, Chinese Indigenous Management Theory must be based on the uniqueness perspective. Unique perspective rather than unique context is a reliable basis for Chinese Indigenous Management Theory. Furthermore, according to Lakatos, this perspective must be strong enough to break the ＂hard core＂ of the original theory which means Paradigm Revolution.
