    Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two.

    Abstract

    Senior editors of five leading management journals (AMR; ASQ; JAP; JIBS; MISQ) discuss potential editorial policies that help to create a reliable and cumulative knowledge ecosystem. The focus is on six growing concerns about the reliability and accumulation of management knowledge: (1) weak fulfilment of original scientific and interdisciplinary missions outlined in the 1950s; (2) inevitable convergence to only the "interesting" and "counterintuitive" knowledge; (3) limitations of single disciplines in their narrow theoretical focus; (4) lack of motivations for replications and synthesis; (5) over-generalizations of theories and findings; (6) lack of objective views of research subjects due to disciplinary-related value biases.


    Represented journals: AMR, ASQ, JAP, JIBS, MISQ
