实验法在管理学研究中的演进与创新

Evolution and Innovation of Experimental Methods in Management Research

利用文献研究和系统理性分析的方法,探究了实验法在管理学研究中的演进与创新过程。首先,对管理学实验的概念及其传统分类进行了介绍。其次,总结了管理学实验中常用的设计方法,即正交设计法、仿真法、倍差法和断点回归设计法。然后,根据实验设计方法,对管理学实验进行了重新分类,并对各类实验的特点和适用范围展开了讨论。重新分类后的主要实验类型包括正交实验、计算机仿真实验、准实验和自然实验。最后,从实验设计方法的角度,梳理了管理学实验的发展脉络,并分析了其演进与创新的路径,结果将有助于进一步推动实验法在管理学研究中的正确运用。

This paper investigates the evolution and innovation process of experimental methods management research through literature and rationally systematic analysis. First,the concept and traditional classification of management experiments are introduced. Second,the commonly used design methods in management experiments are concluded,which include orthogonal,simulation,difference-in-difference and regression discontinuity designs. Then, based on the design methods,this paper reclassifies the management experiments, and discusses their characteristics and application scopes accordingly. Reclassified experiments consist of orthogonal,computer simulation, quasiand natural experiments. Finally,this paper clarifies the research context of management experiments, and analyzes their evolution and innovation path from the perspective of design methods,which are supposed to promote the further developments in management study.
