摘要：Over the course of the last decades numerous management concepts have risen and fallen in popularity.Research has shown that some management concepts are short-lived and have limited impact,while others spread widely and have an enduring and longer-lasting impact.What may explain these differences? This paper outlines a typology for assessing the impact of management concept in a given social context.It is argued that the impact of a management concept varies along two dimensions:the degree of institutionalization denotes the impact across time,while the degree of diffusion denotes impact across space.
