Welcome to Revise and Resubmit, your go-to podcast for deep dives into the latest breakthroughs in management research. Today, we’re exploring an essential read published just days ago in the prestigious Journal of Management, one of the elite FT50 journals recognized by the Financial Times as part of the world’s top 50 business publications. The article, A Roadmap for Navigating Phenomenon-Based Research in Management, is a thought-provoking editorial by Fabrice Lumineau from HKU Business School, Dejun Tony Kong of the University of Colorado Boulder, and Nicky Dries from KU Leuven and BI Norwegian Business School.
This piece challenges the conventional path of theory-first research. Instead, it advocates for phenomenon-based studies, where understanding complex, real-world issues comes before theoretical contributions. The authors introduce the PRIME framework—pertinence, reach, insightfulness, magnification, and expediency—to guide researchers in choosing impactful phenomena. But what does it really take to navigate these uncharted waters of management research?
As we unpack this roadmap, consider: Can focusing on real-world phenomena transform not just academic inquiry, but the very way we solve organizational challenges?
A big thank you to the authors, Fabrice Lumineau, Dejun Tony Kong, and Nicky Dries, as well as SAGE Publications for making this valuable research open access.
