Developing a field with more soul: Standpoint theory and public policy research for management scholars

Article Abstract:

The question of whether management scholars should be more involved in scholarship and research that is relevant to public policy is addressed, expressing the opinion that entanglement with public policy issues is inevitable in the field of management research. Standpoint theory provides guidance in public policy research for the starting point of enquiry and the aspects to be studied, leading to a goal to create knowledge that raises consciousness about exploitation and help movement toward emancipation.

Should strategic management research engage public policy debates?

Article Abstract:

An example is provided of multiple benefits that can be generated if insights from strategic management theory are used in social policy analysis. By applying strategic management theory to critical social issues, the level of discussions in these debates will be elevated, and opportunities to extend and test received strategic management theory will be provided, which improves the self-interests of both social policy experts and strategic management scholars.
