Title:
The Production of Knowledge: The Challenge of Social Science Research
Author: Starbuck, William H
Subjects: 1934 ; General management ; Knowledge Management ; Organizational Theory and Behaviour ; Social sciences ; Starbuck, William H
Description: This book reflects on a number of challenges associated with management and social science research — the search for a ‘behavioral science’, the limits of rationality, the unreliability of many research findings, the social shaping of research agendas, cultures, and judgements. The book is chronologically structured and includes discussions of research projects and various methodological debates. This is a feisty argument based on all aspects of research — carrying out research programmes, evaluating research, tirelessly questioning the assumptions and claims of social science research, and never avoiding the awkward theoretical or practical challenges that face organizational researchers.
