  • Learning by Doing: Emerging Paths of Chinese Management Research

  • Shuming Zhao, Chunyan Jiang
  • Journal:
    Management and Organization Review / Volume 5 / Issue 1 / March 2009
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 February 2015, pp. 107-119

  • This commentary reviews Chinese management research since its beginning more than thirty years ago and considers the emerging paths that contemporary scholars may follow. Following Barney and Zhang's (2009) article as well as Whetten's article (2009) in this issue, we first clarify what the two paths (a theory of Chinese management and a Chinese theory of management) would mean for the Chinese scholar. We then discuss the possible interplay between these two paths and suggest it is time to take the road less travelled rather than to over-travel the more popular road. We conclude that practice will prove the final judge on the paths pursued and that the insights from the Barney and Zhang and Whetten articles help sharpen our understanding of the challenges.
