Influential Article Review - A Discussion with James G. March

Abstract

This paper examines education. We present insights from a highly influential paper. Here are the highlights from this paper: In this interview with Professor James G. March, we focused on the key insights stemming from his work, with a special emphasis on the lessons for organization science and organization design. We discussed the major ideas and theories that he and his coauthors generated over the several decades as well as asked him about his views on the role of management research and business academia in general. The interview was conducted in September 2013 in Stanford, CA, and updated in August 2017 with a postscript from James G. March directed to the organization design community. For our overseas readers, we then present the insights from this paper in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German.
