How can the quality of Made-in-China management research be improved？ I point out five common but fixable problems typically associated with such research, and offer actionable solutions to solve them. Finally, I argue that management scholars have a social responsibility to help improve China＇s country-of-origin image, by pursuing scholarly excellence and not tolerating sloppiness in management research.展开更多

The diffusion can also be viewed as an intellectual movement in the age of global competition characterized by a flat world. How can we explain the recent diffusion of the WAW list? More important, how does such diffusion impact the future of business and management scholarship? Addressing these important but underexplored questions, I identify the multilevel factors that explain the diffusion, and predict its likely trajectory and its impact on future scholarship.展开更多
