However, new methods take a long time to be diffused and adopted. The most common contemporary methods used in management research are similar to those used decades ago. Drawing upon theories of knowledge diffusion and adoption, we identify four barriers to the slow propagation of methodological innovations: (a) insufficient knowledge or skills, (b) inadequate adoption of technology, (c) outdated norms, and (d) inefficient incentives as well as inapplicable journal and professional organization policies. Then, to show the usefulness of the four-barrier framework for understanding slow diffusion and adoption, we focus on three selective methods and data innovations: Collection of Web-based (aka big) data, utilization of video-based methods, and use of computer-aided text analysis techniques. Our aim is not to create a “ gold rush ” for new methods or accelerate methodological and theoretical speed for their own sake, but to expand our collective methodological toolkit to develop and test more robust, replicable, accurate, predictive, and credible theory that will result in better-informed and more effective policy-making.","PeriodicalId":48215,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Perspectives","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135982003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new sensitizing framework is developed from evaluating and extending policy debates in top management journals linked to societal challenges. SAPP contributes to policy, practice and management theory by offering a novel perspective to conceptualize and examine the relationship between organizations, people management, policy making and big societal challenges across micro, meso and macro levels. The framework supports more meaningful theorizing to a wider public community by encouraging dialogue between academics, policy makers and other stakeholders. SAPP’s conceptual contributions link theory with policy and place management and HRM scholars in a stronger agenda-setting position to impact future equitable and sustainable policy making.","PeriodicalId":48215,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Perspectives","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135603232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The root causes are behavioral biases – such as optimism and deliberate deception – accompanied by principal-agent issues and a lack of project-related skills. Through a three-stage process – i.e., Forecasting, Organizing, and Executing (FOX) – we organize and offer solutions to mitigate the cognitive biases and agency issues planners and policymakers face in large projects. Following the three-stage FOX process and building on Behavioral Decision Theory (BDT), we first review evidence for the accuracy of Reference Class Forecasting (RCF), which considers comparable past projects to forecast a current, planned project. We provide evidence for RCF performance and recent methodological extensions such as Similarity Based Forecasting (SBF). Second, considering the principal-agent and project governance literature, we offer organizational solutions to reduce unfounded optimism and deception, including debiasing techniques and specific measures to curb principal-agent issues. Third, we suggest combining a project modular design with speedy implementation for faster, better, cheaper, and lower-risk execution. Overall, we offer an original, holistic theoretical view that deals with both behavioral and strategic elements of how to debias large projects, along with direct practical implications and advice for those who manage megaprojects with increasingly high stakes and risks.","PeriodicalId":48215,"journal":{"name":"Academy of Management Perspectives","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135449456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
