The study aims to extend the study of hot research topics in the field of general management, which was a survey issued by MOST in 2006, to analyze the progress and trends in international research over the past decade. We collected and analyzed data from different sources: MOST projects, academic articles selected from international top tier journals, conference papers from the Academy of Management annual meeting, call-for-paper statements, and special issues in the period of 2013-2015. Through the content analysis processes, the crucial issues are organized into hot issues, high impact issues, emerging issues, and focus issues. In addition, the prospective research fields are identified as: (1) engaging in innovation, entrepreneur(ship) as well as socio/social-related studies; (2) focusing on different forms of pluralistic objects; (3) emphasizing the importance of institutional complexity; (4) exploring the practice-based work and work-related issues; (5) resource-based reasoning still as its main theme; (6) adopting agentic view or dynamic perspectives to explore organization and management theories; (7) encouraging cross-fertilization studies in temporality, disciplines, levels, cultures, and methodologies; and (8) keeping an eye on the challenges from external factors and events. This study sheds light on the research trends of international academia and identifies several productive research directions in the field of general management. |
