Communityship not leadership, posits management thinker Henry Mintzberg

Going Public: Debating Matters of Concern As an Imperative for Management Scholars

In this review essay, we assess the shale revolution through the lens of management theory and practice. First, we contend that fracking in America is a textbook example of 鈥済ood鈥� management. Nonetheless, as we subsequently document, fracking鈥檚 influence extends beyond immediate impacts in many social, environmental, and economic spheres, often with negative repercussions. Although management scholars have remained on the sidelines, academics from a variety of other disciplines have actively participated in this debate. We identify several topics where management scholars seem positioned to contribute well-informed opinions on fracking.聽 We close the essay by posing suggestions for what such public engagement might look like. First, we consider the kinds of problems that might lend themselves to public debate. Second, we tackle questions related to the ground rules for such debates, in terms of potential norms. Finally, we differentiate the kinds of public debates we have in mind from other forms of academic relevance. Essentially, we advocate for 鈥済oing public鈥� as a complement to rigorous and evidence-based academic research.
