摘要

Miller, Cardinal, and Glick (1997) challenged the conclusions in Golden (1992b), which examined the use of retrospective data in strategic management research. Further, the authors suggest that my findings have led many other researchers to avoid the use of retrospective data. The present note suggests recent researchers have not entirely avoided retrospective data but have perhaps added precautions when using such data. I also suggest that Miller and colleagues did not fully represent important aspects of my research and inappropriately compare my study with others.
