最大化组织科学的影响:学科与学术领域交叉处的理论构建

学科与学术领域的交叉处为创造性的理论构建提供了重要机会。本文中,我们提出了在学科交叉处构建理论的3种模式,并强调了这3种模式的优势与不足。我们运用"影响轮(impact wheel)"把3种模式相互联系起来,直观地描述了它们对理论、学术领域、学科、研究者和外部相关者等五大范围的影响。尽管3种模式对这些方面的影响不尽相同,但当在学科交叉处的理论建构可以修订现有学科和学术领域边界,并产生新的学科和学术领域时,其影响最大。这样的理论建构并不常见,并且需要研究者具有挖掘组织科学更多潜能的特定技巧。

互补品天才

安德烈和爱德华当初是怎么想的？ 1900年，就在两兄弟刚刚接管家族设在克莱蒙一费朗市橡胶生意之后不久，他们决定为旅行者出版一本指导手册。在他们的《米其林指南》一书当中，作者提供了大量加油站、酒店、餐厅和观光景点的信息，并配有详尽的地图和旅行提示。该书第一版印刷了35000册，米其林公司免费将其发放给那些感兴趣的读者们。他们的这一做法后来被证明是一个极其天才的举动。     

统计学之我见

一位中国研究生曾经问我,统计学的主要目的是什么?我引用一句毛泽东的话作为回答,那就是“实事求是”。我知道毛泽东在讲这句话时不是针对统计学而言的,但我认为这句话确实概括了统计研究工作的特点和真正目的。“求是”是我们对客观世界某些方面的认识或探索,“实事”要求我们从实际数据出发从而得到这些认识。

Knowledge Brokering: The missing link in the evidence to action chain?

Transferring health care research into policy and practice is a messy and complex process which both policymakers and researchers can struggle with. A potential solution is to use individuals or organisations as knowledge brokers. Using a range of literature, this paper explains the theory behind knowledge brokering, identifies three models of brokering and explores the challenges of brokering. We suggest that clarifying these factors is a significant step towards planning well designed and rigorously evaluated brokering interventions. We also suggest that a clearly defined theoretical framework could help us to find out more about how brokering works and its effectiveness.
