Features: This book constructs a new framework for government theory and corporate theory research. Currently, both domestic and international academia faces challenges in studying government and corporate theories due to the lack of a reasonable and appropriate research framework, leading to significant confusion. Sometimes, even when someone attempts to build such a framework, it fails to gain recognition due to insufficient research depth. As a result, many scholars shift their focus to specific issues, which is undoubtedly important. This book pioneers the comprehensive comparative study of policy and corporate theories in both domestic and international academia. Previously, research on government and corporate theories was conducted independently—those studying government theory focused solely on it, and those studying corporate theory did the same, with the two fields largely isolated and lacking communication. However, this book breaks this tradition by advocating for a broader perspective beyond the narrow confines of government and corporate theories, analyzing them together to identify commonalities.
This book applies innovative research methods and proposes a series of fresh perspectives. Currently, research on government and corporate issues in China's academia largely remains at the stage of introducing foreign theories, with few significant theoretical advancements. One major reason for this phenomenon is the lack of appropriate research methods and a certain level of innovation among researchers. In contrast, this book employs the grand social science research method and the product research method to systematically analyze and organize existing government and corporate theories, offering new interpretations from fresh perspectives and methods. This is an invaluable feature of the book and also its most prominent one.
The research methods in this book are scientific and rigorous, with abundant data. When discussing each important issue in government and corporate theories, the book provides a detailed review and in-depth analysis of existing research. This not only lays a solid academic foundation for the book's analysis and fosters a platform for academic innovation but also offers valuable assistance to future researchers in related fields. It also helps to counteract the current in China's academia, where researchers often neglect thorough study and organization, merely proposing their own views without a clear understanding of the research status quo.
By applying the grand social science research method and the product research method, this book systematically analyzes and organizes existing government and corporate theories, offering new interpretations from fresh perspectives. Its research methods are scientific and rigorous, the data is rich, and it is highly innovative and pioneering.
