Abstract
The article discusses the status of management research, examines its needs and makes suggestions for future research. The author looks at the difference between management research and industrial research. A competition to have research papers introduced by the Academy of Management's Annual Meeting program is discussed. The author feels that the competition, despite being a smart business innovation, should be announced as early as possible. Several of the papers submitted in previous years are criticized for lacking an effective design. Uncertainty within the Academy regarding its priority of interests is mentioned.
