Dear Friends & Colleagues,
I'd like to call your attention to a very important conversation about a very pressing problem in our field. Management suffers from a "wicked problem" made up of many interconnected problems: an obsession with theory; journals' impact factors are wrongly used to judge the value of individual researchers; only positive results are shown; there is a resistance to publishing interesting research that does not test hypotheses; p-hacking and other research malpractices have been documented way too many times; etc. This puts a flourishing future of business schools in question. Dennis Tourish has been an inspiration to me and many others for calling this out.
CHAT OUTLINE:
[02:35] Some statistics about the crisis in management studies
[05:20] Summary of the many interlinked problems behind the crisis in management studies (overemphasis of theory, questionable research practices, lack of relevant research, overemphasis of journals' impact factors, etc.)
[12:08] Taking a complexity view of the issue, what is/are the problem(s) that we absolutely have to address first?
[15:40] Why we are underestimating our agency to solve the problem
[18:20] Why referring to scientific publications by using the phrase "playing the game" is deleterious
[20:20] Taking a (simplified) foresight view of the issue, what is the best case future scenario and the worst case future scenario of management studies?
[24:06] Possible solutions, e.g., a shorter review process, grant lottery for researchers, etc.
[28:57] Research malpractice, e.g., only positive results are shown, tautological hypotheses, etc.
[31:37] The necessity of promoting abductive research and case studies
[33:38] P-hacking and the crisis of reproducibility
[34:26] How to address the problem collectively
[39;28] Resistance to change
[42:37] Why and how to do more relevant management research?
[48:02] What has recently changed in the field about the problem
