浅谈research-notes on

research has a number of characteristics:

data are collected systematically

data are interpreted systematically

there is a clear purpose: to find things out

研究有如下特征：

系统地收集数据

系统地解读数据

有明确的目标：发现事物

我们可以定义研究为某种人们利用来系统地发现事物的方式，以此来增加知识。这个定义中有两点很重要：‘系统的方式’和‘发现事物’。‘系统地’意味着研究是基于一定的逻辑性而非信仰。因此，研究应当包括对收集数据的方法的解读，对所获得结论意义的探讨，以对相关局限性的解释。

‘发现事物’意味着研究有着多重目的，可能包括描述，解释，理解，批评及分析。但是，这也意味着你同时有着清晰的目标或者一系列期待发掘的事物，比如对某个或一系列问题的解答。

research-practice gap:

the failure of organisations and managers to base practices on best available evidence.

research findings do not appear to have transferred well to workplace.

商科的研究至少应当致力于解决三个问题

1. addressing business issues

2. solving managerial problems

3. promoting the common good

Features that can make business and management research distinctive from research in other disciplines

商业与管理领域的研究有别于其他领域研究的特点在于：

1.Transdisciplinary nature of business and management research 跨学科性

2. Development of ideas that are related to practice and in particular the requirement for the research to have some practical consequence; 发展与实践相关的概念，特别是要求研究要得出实际的结论。

3. Need for research to complete the virtuous circle of theory and practice 要求研究能够完成理论与实践的良性循环

4. Addressing of problems that grow out of the interaction between the worlds of theory and practice 着力解决理论与实践的交互中产生的问题
