經理人對企業管理學術研究的認知與應用

企業中的管理是否能以科學與學術性的方式來進行分析為學術界長期研究與探討的議題，許多人認為管理為一門藝術，無法公式化以及找到一個四海皆準的理論；同時也有人認為企業中的管理雖然與學術研究有冲突，但是眾多MBA與EMBA等管理課程的設立，卻代表學術研究對於企業管理具有一定程度的聯結性。本文針對位於台灣的汽車電子產品研發公司作個案分析，探討其經營策略的一些作法與企業管理學術研究之間的關聯性。從觀察及訪談資料的分析顯示，非企業管理學系畢業的員工也可擔任基層管理工作，企業管理者不需具備企業管理博士學位；企業中對於員工軟實力的重視與培訓和學術課程中的開放性思維和風險承擔有高度的相似之處，重視團隊以及員工交流與學術研究中探討團隊組成特性以及團隊成功表現的關係有共同之處；管理中的部分工作內容或決策無法僅以量化的方式評估，追求利潤並非唯一考量。在研究個案公司的過程中，發現企業管理學術研究的內容可以在企業的實務性作法中找到證據與案例。

Whether all business management activities and practices could be analyzed in a scientific way is a topic that has been discussed and debated for quite a long time. Some people think that management is an art; hence, it could not be scientifically formulated so as to develop a universal theory. Meanwhile, there are others who argue that the prevalence of MBA/EMBA courses fully demonstrated the usefulness of academic research even though academic-practice gaps do exist. This thesis analyzes a case company in Taiwan whose major business is to conduct research and development activities for automotive electronics. The purpose is to identify whether the company’s strategic thoughts and daily activities are somehow related to the outcomes of academic research on business management. Results from observations and interviews show that employees who graduated from non-business majors can also serve as first-line managers; business managers do not need a doctoral business management degree; the nurture and training of employees’ soft skill is in accordance with the concept of open-minded thinking and risk taking which are highly recommended by management academic research; emphasis on team works and employee interactions are related to academic studies on team development and the evaluation of team performances. Finally, not all management activities or performances could be quantified and profit is not the sole purpose for a business organization. Generally speaking, certain suggestions from academic research regarding how to run a business could be found or verified from the operations of the case company.
