摘要：
For over half a century, Management Science has promoted scientific research into the practice of management. Because management is a vast and complex activity, early researchers tended to adopt a reductionist approach by concentrating on narrow subproblems. As a result, the journal was initially dominated by studies of tactical issues and quantitative solution techniques. But recent publication trends suggest that scholars are turning their attention to broader, more realistic management issues, and are using a wider range of research methods to address them. This is fueling a research renaissance that offers hope for significant progress toward creation of a legitimate science of management.
