More students study management and organization studies than ever, the
number of business schools worldwide continues to rise, and more
management research is being published in a greater number of journals
than could have been imagined twenty years ago. Dennis Tourish looks
beneath the surface of this progress to expose a field in crisis and
in need of radical reform. He identifies the ways in which management
research has lost its way, including a remoteness from the practical
problems that managers and employees face, a failure to replicate key
research findings, poor writing, endless obscure theorizing, and an
increasing number of research papers being retracted for fraud and
other forms of malpractice. Tourish suggests fundamental changes to
remedy these issues, enabling management research to become more
robust, more interesting and more valuable to society. A must read for
academics, practising managers, university administrators and policy
makers within higher education.
