管理学研究与实践的脱节及其弥合:对陈春花的访谈

The Disjunction and Its Bridging of Management Research and Practice:An Interview with Chen Chunhua

实践属性对于管理学科非常重要,管理学是一门应用学科,而应用学科的主要特征就是要能用。为了追求能用的科学研究,必须找出有价值的问题,尤其是能够指导实践的问题,这就是实践先行,而科学性则是后续研究中应该遵循的原则。上述过程之前后顺序非常关键,不按照"从实践先行再到科学研究"的顺序就可能导致科学研究与实践有效性的冲突。在没有认真观察企业的情况下,硬找文献或者理论去套是不行的。中国的管理学术研究要与实践紧密结合,就需要学者深入观察中国企业、基于"中国经验"提出更多"以实践为先导"的"陈春花命题"或"类陈春花命题",而不是大量从文献中转手即来的"美国式管理命题"。同时,中国的管理学术期刊也应更加关注"中国经验、中国假设与中国命题",而不能一味延续美国顶级期刊所关心的问题。

Practical attribute is very important for management discipline. Management is an applied discipline, and the main feature of applied disciplines is to be able to use. In order to pursue useable scientific research, it is necessary to find valuable problems, especially those problems which are used to guide the practice and it can be called practice first. Scientificity is the procedure that should be followed in subsequent studies. The order before and after the process is very critical. Not in accordance with the order ＂from practice first to the scientific research＂ is likely to lead to the conflict between scientific research and practice effectiveness. In the absence of careful observation of enterprises, it is hard to find valuable problem from literature or theory. If China＇s management of academic research should be closely integrated with practice, scholars should deeply observe the Chinese enterprises, put forward more ＂Chen Chunhua propositions＂ or ＂similar Chen Chunhua propositions＂, rather than a large number of ＂American management propositions＇from the literature. At the same time, China＇s management academic journals should also pay more attention to the ＂Chinese experience, Chinese hypotheses and Chinese propositions＂, and can not blindly continue the issues that the top journals of the United States concern about.
