本文的目的是提供一些背景知识，未来的管理和组织研究。它提供了关于社会科学如何与未来接触的历史信息，并试图确定科学研究未来主题的困难。它表明，未来是所有社会存在的一个不可避免的方面，因此需要包括在任何社会生活的研究，无论背景。然而，就像大多数管理和组织研究都认为时间是理所当然的一样，我们对未来的研究也是理所当然的，也就是说，没有明确地探索和理论化。本文认为，只要我们离开的方法，以未来的隐含，我们很可能会误读和误解的一些关键的时间紧张局势，在我们研究的组织。芭芭拉·亚当是卡迪夫大学的社会学教授。她是《时代与社会》杂志的创始编辑，发表了大量关于时间的社会关系的文章。她最近的专著是《时间》，于2004年出版，是政治出版社“关键概念”系列的一部分。她目前拥有英国经济和社会研究理事会教授奖学金计划下的三年研究资助，她调查了未来的社会关系。电子邮件：adamtime@cardiff.ac.uk网址：http://www.cf.ac.uk/socsi/futures/ http://www.cf.ac.uk/socsi/whoswho/adam/ © B Adam -巴勒莫
This paper is intended to contribute some background knowledge about the future in management and organisation studies. It provides historical information on the way the social sciences have engaged with the future and seeks to identify the difficulties with the subject of the future for scientific study. It suggests that futurity is an inescapable aspect of all social being and thus needs to be encompassed in any study of social life irrespective of the context. However, in the same way that time is taken for granted in the majority of management and organisation studies, much in our approaches to the future is taken for granted, that is, not explicitly explored and theorised. The paper suggests that as long as we leave approaches to the future implicit, we are likely to mis-read and mis-understand some of the key temporal tensions in the organisations we study.
