국내 경영학연구의 관점과 영역에 대한 고찰

Business Research in Korea has flourished over the past decades in accordance with proliferation of business enterprises. The number of business researchers and the amount of the accumulated literature make business one of the largest academic disciplines. Yet, its research outcomes have exerted limited influences on the other related social sciences and on the Korean society. The main purpose of this research is to explore alternative business research perspectives and domains so that business research can play a more significant role in Korea, contributing to solution of contemporary social problems. Broadening the scope and domain of business research would help the area have a more extensive influence over related academic disciplines. Based on a literature review and an e-mail survey of domestic business researchers, this study claims the need for a broader view on research subject matters and perspectives. This study asserts that future research efforts toward expanding research subject matters and diversifying research perspectives enrich and strengthen the position of the domestic business research community in its relation to the Korean society and the overall social science academic community. Such research efforts will ultimately pave a way toward establishing business research stream firmly grounded on Korean society.
