The Status

Megaproject practices worldwide have triggered increasing research in megaproject management issues and led to an increasing number of papers being published during the last decade. However, it is demonstrated by the literature that there is no systematic examination on research development in the discipline of megaproject management, and consequently it is very difficult for scholars to quickly understand and grasp the research trend. Therefore, a research question naturally comes out, i.e., what is the status quo of megaproject management research and what are the research directions worthy of further investigation? This study aims to answer the question by conducting a systematic examination of the research development in the discipline of megaproject management. A total of 117 relevant articles, identified from six major international journals between 2009 and 2021, were analyzed based on the number of papers published annually, main author contributions, citations, categorization of the research methods and data analysis methods adopted, and research topics covered. The results indicated that developed countries, such as Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, have enjoyed significant advantages in terms of megaproject management research. It also revealed that more sophisticated views and theory have been used effectively, rather than only basic qualitative methods, in a number of studies on megaproject management. Future studies on megaproject management will be led globally, where megaprojects will remain designed and built to better built environments. In addition, continuous in-depth research on related topics can promote innovation in megaproject management to achieve sustainable megaproject development. Megaproject management will continue to be a hot research topic in the future; in particular, megaproject investment and finance management have emerged as new challenging topics. The findings can be valuable for both industry practitioners and researchers to gain deeper understanding of the current status and future directions of megaproject management research.

Purpose This paper aims to debate the challenges related to balancing relevance and ranking in management research. Design/methodology/approach This is a commentary on and review of challenges faced by twenty-first century management academics. Findings There is a chasm between managerial relevance and current managerial research; however, with academic buy-in, there are ways in which the chasm can be crossed. Research limitations/implications The implications of this are wide reaching for management researchers. They are challenged to consider different methodologies, strategies and dissemination avenues for their research. Practical implications Researchers need to consider not only collaboration with practitioners, as they pursue solutions to managerial problems, but also more inter-disciplinary research that addresses the wicked problems of management in practice. Social implications Solving the challenge of managerial relevance of business research has the potential to allow the contribution of business academia to be fully appreciated by practitioners. Originality/value The value of this thought-piece is that it challenges business and management academics to challenge the status quo and fight to make their research relevant to and valued by the business world.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current status of corporate environmental strategy (CES) in mainstream business and management literature, and to provide new insights on current studies and future directions for this field of study. Design/methodology/approach – This study performs a systematic literature review of 19,839 papers in selected mainstream management journals and takes 48 CES-focused papers into account for in-depth analysis in the period between 1990 and 2013. Findings – This study shows that the majority of studies have been conducted using data from the USA, focused on a single country, utilized a resource-based view (RBV), and analysed mixed industries. The most popular issue in CES studies is the examination of causality between environmental strategy and a firm’s performance. Second, the stakeholder theory and institutional theory are most frequently used to explain a firm’s motivation to develop CES. A RBV theory is commonly used to explain a firm’s sources in initiating CES. Finally, the results show a lack of comparative studies in mainstream management research. Research limitations/implications – Due to the limited focus of this study, the findings of this paper can be generalized only to the specific group of databases selected for this research for a given period of time. Originality/value – This paper fulfils the need for a comprehensive review of CES literature. It provides a literature review and bibliography for the period between 1990 and 2013 for use by both academics and practitioners.

Evaluative Reactions

Numerous attempts to improve diversity by way of changing the hearts of decision makers have fallen short of the desired outcome. One underappreciated factor that contributes to bias resides not in decision makers’ hearts, but instead in their minds. People possess images, or mental representations, for specific roles and professions. Which mental image or representation springs spontaneously to mind depends on the current status quo within a field. Whether or not an individual or groups’ appearance matches visual stereotypes results in perceptually mediated preferences and prejudices, both of which harbor pernicious assumptions about who belongs in a professional setting and why. Leveraging these scientific insights can enact change. Shifting visible exemplars can change people’s mental representations and their heart’s evaluative reactions to others.

The Status

The members of the profession of audiology often express concern that the services and products that have been developed to provide benefit to the hearing impaired are not sought after or delivered to the majority of those diagnosed with hearing loss. A critical look at the status quo of hearing care delivery in the United States is needed to verify this assumption and to develop strategies to improve the situation. A key concern is the lack of a comprehensive high-quality scientific database upon which to build continuous improvements in the effectiveness of the services and products that are provided to the hearing impaired.

The mechanism of the statutory assessment can be understood as one of the most important gears that put into operation the teaching-learning process of an educational institution. For the same reason, it is necessary that all its constituent mechanisms be constantly reviewed, in order to measure its success in relation to the goals it proposes. This need, wherein lies the justifications of this work, is accentuated before a glaring paradox: even though the theoretical discourse about the pedagogical assessment point to an inclusive and democratic thinking, the practice is still imbued with influences of traditional evaluative models, which results in a banking education, exclusive and hierarchical. In this sense, through a qualitative research based on extensive literature analysis, a historical analysis of the evaluation to the point of the current status quo is undertaken, in order to highlight these contradictions and inconsistencies, launching later to a critical discussion of this historical trajectory. Such is the objective of this study.ResumoO mecanismo da avaliação pode ser entendido como uma das mais importantes engrenagens que colocam em funcionamento o processo pedagógico de uma instituição de ensino. Por esse motivo, é necessário que seus mecanismos constitutivos sejam constantemente revisados, com vistas a aferir se obtêm sucesso em relação aos fins aos quais se propõe. Tal necessidade, lugar onde reside a justificativa do trabalho, se acentua perante um paradoxo: mesmo que o discurso teórico acerca da avaliação aponte para um pensamento inclusivo e democrático, as práticas avaliativas ainda permanecem impregnadas de influências dos modelos tradicionais, o que resulta numa educação bancária, excludente e hierarquizante. Nesse sentido que, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa embasada em ampla análise bibliográfica, se empreenderá uma análise histórica da avaliação até o ponto do status quo atual das práticas pedagógicas avaliativas, no intuito de evidenciar tais contradições, lançando-se posteriormente a uma discussão crítica dessa trajetória histórica. Tal é o objetivo do trabalho. Por fim, concluiu-se que é necessário um esforço teórico e prático daqueles que pretendem pensar as práticas pedagógicas no sentido do desenvolvimento gradual de um novo modo de avaliar: um modo que leve a sério o princípio de uma escola democrática e todas as suas implicações.ResumenEl mecanismo de la evaluación puede ser entendido como uno de los más importantes engranajes que ponen en funcionamiento el proceso pedagógico de una institución de enseñanza.
