ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT JOURNAL SPECIAL RESEARCH FORUM CALL FOR PAPERS - PUBLIC POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF MANAGEMENT RESEARCH: PEOPLE, TECHNOLOGY, AND GLOBALIZATION

摘要

In a recent editors' forum in AMJ (December, 2005), Rynes and Shapiro raised the question of whether management and organizational research should have more impact on public policy. Most of the forum's participants answered with a resounding "yes." In an attempt to address the challenges researchers face in seeking to have such an impact, we are now organizing a special research forum in AMJ. Our goal is to illustrate how scholarly research can address issues relevant to the societies we serve in a way that generates useful implications for public policy debate and decision making.
