大学奖学金是不是走入了歧途？我们的学术评估系统是否奖励解决对社会最重要的问题的奖学金？以国际商业为例，我们强调了学术排名系统的问题性质，并质疑这种评估是否会使学术偏离其根本目的。我们呼吁立即对现有的排名系统进行审查，这不仅是作为相对于绩效的一个合理的学术问题--一个深深植根于管理研究的概念视角--而且还因为该领域的健康和活力岌岌可危。事实上，根据这里提供的数据，。这表明目前的系统功能失调，可能弊大于利暂时暂停排名可能是合适的，直到开发出更有效和可靠的方法来评估学术贡献。世界各地的学者社区，以及与管理学术互动和支持管理学术的全球机构网络(如管理学院、AACSB和汤森路透科学)被邀请创新并设计更可靠和有效的方法来评估学术贡献，真正促进相关21世纪知识的进步，并同样表彰那些最符合大学根本宗旨的个人和机构。
Has university scholarship gone astray? Do our academic assessment systems reward scholarship that addresses the questions that matter most to society? Using international business as an example, we highlight the problematic nature of academic ranking systems and question if such assessments are drawing scholarship away from its fundamental purpose. We call for an immediate examination of existing ranking systems, not only as a legitimate scholarly question vis-a-vis performance-a conceptual lens with deep roots in management research-but also because the very health and vibrancy of the field are at stake. Indeed in light of the data presented here,. which suggest that current systems are dysfunctional and potentially cause more harm than good a temporary moratorium on rankings may be appropriate until more valid and reliable ways to assess scholarly contributions can be developed The worldwide community of scholars, along with the global network of institutions interacting with and supporting management scholarship (such as the Academy of Management, AACSB, and Thomson Reuters Scientific) are invited to innovate and design more reliable and valid ways to assess scholarly contributions that truly promote the advancement of relevant 21st century knowledge, and likewise recognize those individuals and institutions that best fulfill the university's fundamental purpose.
