“非科学性”让管理研究变得更好:“蔡玉麟质疑”继续中

Being Non-Scientific Makes Management Research Better:CAI Yulin's Question Continues

基于对管理研究可能面向的探讨,意在凸显"非科学图景"的学术价值。首先,重新解读了《管理学报》2016年第8期刊发蔡玉麟先生的论文,并将其核心质疑引向对管理研究"单纯科学性"的反思;然后,剖析了IACMR主导范式的"合理性",成功的情境因素和面临的挑战;再次,对多元范式给出更加"实用性"的讨论以强调问题决定方法;最后,展望了IACMR在学术评价和研究成员培养中的更有承担的角色,提出"徐淑英难题"并主张以诠释主义作为替代性的研究进路。

This article aims to explore the potential dimensions of management research （MR） in order to open a non-scientific window for MR, which will contribute more academic value. This article firstly offers an interpretation on CAI Yulin＇s paper and reshapes its core question into the management＇s single scientific dimensional bias. Then it explicates why IACMR tends to adopt positivist paradigm, why it is so successful in current context and what troubles it must cope with in the future. Thirdly, it presents why multiple paradigms should be appreciated so as to make the problems to determine the methods. Finally, the article anticipates IACMR to play a more active and responsible role in assessment on scholar＇s academic work and in scholar＇s personal development, and proposes Anne S. Tsui＇s conundrum. Further, it states ＇interpretivism; as the optional approach in MR.
