“现代奴隶制”，一个用来描述严重形式的劳动剥削的术语，开始在商业和社会研究中引起越来越大的兴趣。作为一种新的现象，它为一系列商业和管理研究问题提供了创新的理论和经验途径。然而，在商业和管理领域，我们可以称之为现代奴隶制研究的“领域”的发展仍然显着，令人不安的是，欠发达。为了探索这一点，我们详细阐述了迄今为止的发展，潜在的缺点，以及未来可能出现的偏差，这些偏差可能会在商业和管理的六个子学科领域内演变。我们还研究了非管理学科的价值，可以带来对现代奴隶制和商业的研究，研究从政治学，法律和历史研究中明显的连接，批评和催化剂。我们认为，这些为建立更实质性的研究领域提供了巨大的潜力。
"Modern slavery," a term used to describe severe forms of labor exploitation, is beginning to spark growing interest within business and society research. As a novel phenomenon, it offers potential for innovative theoretical and empirical pathways to a range of business and management research questions. And yet, development into what we might call a "field" of modern slavery research in business and management remains significantly, and disappointingly, underdeveloped. To explore this, we elaborate on the developments to date, the potential drawbacks, and the possible future deviations that might evolve within six subdisciplinary areas of business and management. We also examine the value that nonmanagement disciplines can bring to research on modern slavery and business, examining the connections, critiques, and catalysts evident in research from political science, law, and history. These, we suggest, offer significant potential for building toward a more substantial subfield of research.
