For Rigour in Organizational Management Theory Research

Rigour is required in examining the empirical validity of theories in organizational management, and is often considered to be the opposite of creativity in the development of knowledge about managing organizations. In this article, we argue that rigour is necessary in the enterprise of organizational management research. Moreover, it can actually be a contributor to creativity. The issue is not rigour versus creativity, but rather how rigour can foster creativity. We show that rigour in both theory and methodology can foster creativity. Rigour in theory provides the logical thinking that is the foundation that allows the development of sound theory. This can be achieved in various ways, including theory building, mathematical modelling, causal modelling, and theory analysis. Rigour in methodology can assist creativity in quantitative integration. The contribution of rigour to creativity is evidenced by the recently created statistico‐organizational theory and other new advancements in the field of structural contingency research.

The Cognitive Style Index: A Measure of Intuition-Analysis For Organizational Research

Almost 1000 adults participated in the development of the Cognitive Style Index (CSI), a new measure designed specifically for use with managerial and professional groups. the objectives of the study were, first, to produce a psychome-trically sound instrument suitable for application in large-scale organizational studies, and second, through its development, to confirm empirically the generic intuition-analysis dimension of cognitive style. Findings suggest that each objective was largely fulfilled. At a time when there is a burgeoning interest in intuition as a basis for decision making and problem solving in organizations, the CSI would appear to be a notable addition to the small collection of measures appropriate for survey research.

2005年全球经济放缓

■接下来的两年将是全球经济长期增长的开始,这个增长期将持续到2015年。在此期间,发展中国家将有可能实现“千年发展计划”■中国(8.8%)、俄罗斯(8.0%)、印度(6.0%)在2004年的强劲增长超出预料,达到30年来最高水平。2005年可能出现发展中国家经济复苏首次领先于高收入国家的情况■油价的持续走高将使2005的GDP下降大约0.5%。贫困国家受到的打击更大,因为能源进口在它们的进口总量中占据了相对高的份额。这样的经济局势将使得贸易震动变得更加敏感■如果不能通过软着陆来减缓中国过快的经济发展速度,将造成很严重的后果。世界银行预测,软着陆将使中国的发展速度从目前的8.8%下降到2006年的7.1%

Training For Older Managers

Peter Warr, Director of the MRC/ESRC Social and Applied Psychology Unit and a member of the ESRC Centre for Economic Performance, draws upon the Labour Force Survey and a study of members of the Institute of Management to provide detailed information about the incidence and duration of training undertaken by managers at different ages. In the context of projected ageing of the working population, he makes recommendations at three levels: encouraging adaptability through organisational norms, developing and applying training procedures which are effective for older learners, and the creation of national training targets for managers.
