The Proper Place of Organizational Scholarship: A Comment on Hinings and Greenwood

Abstract

?2002 by Johnson Graduate School, Cornell University. 0001 -8392/02/4703-422/$3.00. Appearing as it does at the end of 2002, the Hinings and Greenwood ASO forum is very timely. This has been a tumultuous, scandalous year for business organizations, especially in North America. Some firms' financial statements have been found to be deliberately misleading. Some accounting and financial services firms have been aiding and abetting this duplicitous process. The credibility of some Wall Street stock analysts has been called into question. Several corporate executives have found devious ways to hide debt, inflate profits, and enrich themselves at their companies' and shareholders' expense.
