Kant in pyjamas: Keeping a compass in a changing academic world

Abstract

Reflecting on the twenty years that have elapsed since the launch of M@n@gement, I highlight some changes in the world of organizations, the world of organizational research, and the world of academic publications. I argue that, although notable changes have occurred in all three domains, how we do and assess research can still follow long-established canons. In particular, I suggest with Bourdieu that it all rests on reading statistics on pyjamas while thinking of Kant.
