摘要

文献呼吁商业和管理学者帮助理解我们面临的全球挑战并找到解决方案。我们需要重新认识那些隐含着我们对商业和管理知识与实践的理解的普遍说法。我们要质疑的是,我们现有的理论视角,以及关于什么是劳动、价值及其创造,以及资产、负债和物质性的性质的基本假设,是否阻碍了将商业和管理实践提升为一种善的力量,并探讨我们是否需要超越将现有理论应用于新的研究问题。事实证明,代理理论和利益相关者理论在协调社会和经济利益方面效果不佳,而我们的学科和出版习惯限制了我们的想象力,阻碍了我们构想全新的商业实践方式。我们探讨了为什么需要重新构想商业和管理;重新构想商业和管理的含义以及成为一股善的力量的含义。我们的结论是,如果需要重新构想商业的目的,那么商学院也需要做出改变,成为这一过程中的主要催化剂。

Reimagining Business and Management as a Force for Good

The literature has called on business and management scholars to help understand the global challenges we face and to find solutions. The prevailing narratives that have implicitly informed our understanding of business and management knowledge and practice as good need to be reimagined. We question whether our existing theoretical lenses, along with fundamental underlying assumptions about what constitutes labour, value and its creation, and the nature of assets, liabilities and materiality, act as a barrier to advancing business and management practice as a force for good and explore whether we need to go beyond applying existing theory to new research questions. Both Agency Theory and Stakeholder Theory have proven ineffective in aligning social and economic interests, while our disciplinary and publishing customs constrain our imagination and impede conceptions of fundamentally new ways of practising business.  We explore why we need to reimagine business and management; what we mean by reimagining business and management and what it means to be a force for good. We conclude that if the purpose of business needs to be reimagined, business schools will also need to change to be major catalysts in this process.
