论东方管理的研究边界

东方管理研究的是东方文化区域特别是中国文化圈的管理现象和规律。东方管理与西方管理是一种共同发展、相互补充的关系。尽管跨文化研究是形成世界管理理论的重要途径,但跨文化研究的深入发展必须是建立在东方管理深入研究的基础之上。从研究内容来看,东方管理既注重对管理哲学的探索,也注重对管理工具、管理方法的探索;既注重对东方优秀传统管理文化的继承和提炼,也注重对现当代以来东方诸国管理思想和实践进行提炼、归纳、萃取和创新;既注重对东方本土现实问题的解决,也注重对全球管理发展趋势的跟踪研究;既注重企业管理领域的研究,也关注自我管理、家庭管理、国家管理等领域的研究。东方管理应以问题为中心,根据问题来选择研究方法,因而寻找东方管理独特的研究方法、综合运用主位和客位研究策略将是未来东方管理研究方法的重要方向。

The Boundary of Oriental Management

The paper explores the boundary of oriental management from research object, research content and research methodology. Both oriental management and western management are complementary each other. Cross-cultural management should base on the in-depth development of oriental management. Oriental management not only studies oriental management philosophy, but studies the concrete management methods and techniques; not only inherits the essential of oriental traditional management culture, but purifies the contemporary management thoughts and practice; not only researches the indigenous issues, but traces the global trends of management; not only focuses enterprises management, but studies self-management, family-management, and government management. Problem-oriented methodology is the best choice of oriental management. Finding the unique research method, integrating the etic and emic approach, and linking theories and practice tightly are the directions of future research methodologies of oriental management.
