AB Management scholarship should be placed in a unique position to develop relevant scientific knowledge because businessand management organizations are deeply involved in most global challenges. However, different critical voices haverecently been raised in essays and editorials, and reports have questioned research in the management field, identifyingmultiple deficiencies that can limit the growth of a relatively young field. Based on an analysis of published criticismsof management research, we would like to shed light on the current state of management research and identify somelimitations that should be considered and should guide the growth of this field of knowledge. This work offers guidanceon the main problems of the discipline that should be addressed to encourage the transformation of managementresearch to meet both scientific rigor and social relevance. The article ends with a discussion and a call to action fordirecting research toward the possibility and necessity of reinforcing “responsible research” in the management field.
