摘要:改革开放四十余年以来,管理学在中国迅速发展并逐渐获得“合法性”。那么,管理学在中国各子学科之间的知识流动性是否充分?还是出现了知识领地现象,阻碍了学科之间的知识传递?其各子学科是否已经陷入了“小农意识”?本文基于国家自然科学基金委管理科学部30种重要期刊数据,运用Log-multiplicative模型、Pathfinder算法与熵值分析等新颖且多元化的实证方法,考察管理学在中国是否以及在多大程度上走向“小农意识”。检验结果表明:(1)管理学在中国的不同领域和期刊并非孤立存在,而是呈现不同程度的跨学科融合演进;(2)工商管理、管理科学与工程、财会金融等五个领域与其他子学科之间存在不同程度的知识交流与扩散;(3)《管理世界》等期刊促进了不同领域与期刊之间的知识双向流动,而《中国农村经济》等期刊有助于维护子学科交叉融合网络的稳定性。
Abstract: Ever since the Reform and Opening-up policy forty years ago, management in China has been achieving rapid development and is gradually obtaining “legitimacy”. So, is the flow of knowledge between the sub-disciplines of management in China sufficient, or has the phenomenon of knowledge territoriality emerged, hindering knowledge transfer between sub-disciplines? Have the sub-disciplines fallen into a “parochialism”? Based on the 30 management journals enacted by the NSFC of China, this article employs novel and diversified empirical methods, including the Log-multiplicative model, Pathfinder algorithm, and entropy analysis, to examine, from a dynamic perspective, whether and to what extent management studies in China have evolved towards a “parochialism.” The empirical results show that different fields and journals within management in China are not isolated but have evolved through varying degrees of interdisciplinary integration. Knowledge exchange and diffusion among the fields of business administration, management science and engineering, accounting and finance, and other sub-disciplines exist to varying extents. Journals such as Management World facilitate the bidirectional flow of knowledge across different fields and journals in management, while journals like China Rural Economy contribute to maintaining the stability of interdisciplinary integration networks.
