Resumo: The theme of the next Academy of Management conference, to be held in 2020 in Vancouver, Canada, is "Broadening Our Sight" (Aguinis, 2019), which sounds quite fitting in today's times. Instead of regretting why business administration research does not always enjoy the same prestige as other areas [a subject well studied by Khurana (2007)], the call for papers for this conference expects researchers to abandon the zero-sum thinking present in the dichotomies that surround business administration research (e.g., dilemmas such as qualitative or quantitative research? Research on the micro, meso, or macro level?). The conference seeks contributions that go beyond this binary model, which is not quite useful for building synergies in the search for solutions. However, the issue is not just internal organizational problems. External problems such as political strategies, supply chain, and people management or forms of leadership—among many other topics addressed in business administration research—are definitely associated with management. Polarized positions do not contribute to creative solution of problems (but diversity and pluralism do), and the complexity of the contemporary scenario requires solutions that combine diverse areas of knowledge. The domain of business administration needs to reconcile the internal difficulties faced by companies with the political and social issues that surround them.

Nada mais apropriado para os tempos atuais. Em vez de lamentar porque a Academia em Administração nem sempre tem o mesmo prestígio de outras áreas (tema já bem estudado por Khurana [2007]), a chamada de trabalho propõe que os pesquisadores abandonem posições de soma zero presente nas dicotomias que cercam as pesquisas em Administração (por exemplo: pesquisas qualitativas ou quantitativas? Pesquisas sobre o nível micro, meso ou macro?) e busquem contribuições que ultrapassem esse modelo binário, pouco útil para a construção de sinergias na busca por soluções de problemas. Mas não se trata apenas de problemas internos às organizações. Os problemas externos estão, definitivamente, associados à gestão, como estratégias políticas, Supply chain e gestão de pessoas, ou formas de liderança, entre tantos outros temas que estudamos em Administração. Posições polarizadas não contribuem para a solução criativa de problemas (mas a diversidade e o pluralismo, sim), e a complexidade do cenário contemporâneo exige respostas que interseccionem diversas áreas de conhecimento. A área de Administração precisa conciliar as dificuldades internas enfrentadas pelas empresas com as questões políticas e sociais que as cercam.RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas RAE - Revista de Administração de EmpresasRAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas2019-10-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/rae/article/view/8034910.1590/S0034-759020190501RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas ; Vol. 59 No. 5 (2019): setembro-outubro; 312RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas; Vol. 59 Núm. 5 (2019): setembro-outubro; 312RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas; v. 59 n. 5 (2019): setembro-outubro; 3122178-938X0034-7590reponame:Revista de Administração de Empresasinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/rae/article/view/80349/76756https://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/rae/article/view/80349/76757Copyright (c) 2019 RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTonelli, Maria JoséZambaldi, Felipe2020-02-28T19:24:05Zoai:bibliotecadigital.fgv.br:article/80349Revistahttps://rae.fgv.br/raeONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprae@fgv.br||ilda.fontes@fgv.br||raeredacao@fgv.br2178-938X0034-7590opendoar:2020-02-28T19:24:05Revista de Administração de Empresas - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
