Hi Hannah

Was it this Don Hambrick paper?  The Field of Management's Devotion to Theory: Too Much of a Good Thing?

If so full text here: http://shell.cas.usf.edu/~pspector/ORM/Hambrick2007.pdf

Cheers

Hannah:

I believe that you are referring to Hambrick's AMJ paper:

Hambrick, D. C. (2007). The field of management's devotion to theory: Too much of a good thing?. Academy of Management Journal, 50(6), 1346-1352.

Hannah,

There was a feature topic in ORM on this when I was editor.  The feature topic was guest edited by Jeff Edwards.  It is the first 5 articles in ORM October 2010, Vol. 13, Issue 4.

Hope this helps.

Hi Hannah:

This sounds like Hambrick (2007). Another source that makes the case for inductive theory building is Locke (2007).

More recent is a Journal of Organizational Behavior point/counterpoint exchange on theory currently in early view, as well as an in press special issue of Human Resources Management Review in inductive/exploratory research that will be in early view in a month or two. Cites for the individual papers are below.

A little while ago, there was an article talking about the perils of too much emphasis on theory in OB and management research, and the benefits of interesting papers emphasizing empirical findings.

Does anyone know what article this is, and have the full citation for it?

Many thanks
