问题导向:管理理论发展的推动力

Problem orientation: Driving force of management theory development

问题是理论研究的起点。在人类管理理论时代性贡献与实践性关系上,主要的困难不是答案,而是问题。真正有价值的实际问题既能使管理理论具有旺盛的生命力,又能使管理理论保持与时俱进的鲜活度,并且理论的学术价值与真理性最终只能用解决实际问题的实践来证明。反之,长久地脱离生动的管理问题,忘记实践本身就是伟大的思想者,或者一味生活在别人的思想栅栏和理论围城中,终究会使我们自己的学术生命力慢慢衰落。问题导向原则要求我国管理理论研究不仅坚持实践化,更从本国国情出发,以解决我国现实问题和指导我国管理实践为主旨,最终推动管理学术中国化的实现。当前需要认真弄清楚这一学理逻辑的基本形态与范式,弄清楚如何在问题导向原则中保持这种形态的持久张力,并使这种形态超越民族与地域的局限而融入人类管理学术整体文明之中。

The problem is the starting point of theoretical research. The main difficulty is not answer but problem in the relationship between contribution to the era and practicality of management theory. A real valuable practical problem could make the management theory not only have strong vitality, but also keep fresh by advancing with times, and ultimately, the academic value and truthfulness of the theory can only be proved by practice for prob-lems-solving. Instead, long separation from vivid management problems, or forgetting that practice itself is a great thinker, or blindly living in others’fence of thought and besieged city of theory could lead to a slow decline of our academic vitality. Problem orientation principle requires that the research on management theory in China should not only insist on practicing, but also aim at solving Chinese realistic problems and guiding Chinese management practice, which will eventually promote the realization of sinicization of management research. At present, we should clarify the basic state, and paradigm of this academic logic, make clear how to keep the formation based on problem orientation principle, and enable the formation beyond the limitation of nationality and district and then in-tegrate it into the entirety of human management academic civilization.
