摘要：Several studies indicate different approaches to management research in the USA and Europe.Little is known,however,about inter-European differences.In this study,therefore,a comparative content analysis of 1,002 articles in the leading four US American,European (in English language) and German management journals published in 2000 and 2001 was conducted.The results show clear differences in research patterns (theoretical versus empirical;and if empirical,nomothetic or idiographic),purpose and data collection methods,and collaborative behavior of authors in the respective geographic areas.
