Does Asian management research need more self-confidence? Reflections from Russia

摘要

This commentary on Klaus Meyer's article, "Asian Management Research Needs More Self-confidence," in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (2006), discusses the need for Asian management research to look beyond the pressures for publication in top-tier, Western scholarly academic journals. We reflect on our nearly two decades of research on Russian management to illustrate many of Meyer's ideas and insights in a different transition economy. We support his call for more context-specific research that can also offer contributions to global management knowledge as well as indigenous management practice.
