A 90-year review reveals the fragmented state of Indigenous management research
In short: Researchers conducted a systematic review of literature concerning Indigenous Peoples and organizational management spanning nearly a century. They found that while these perspectives offer valuable insights for management theory, the existing body of work remains highly fragmented and dispersed across various subfields and publication outlets.
This synthesis aims to provide a common language and a multi-dimensional framework to help scholars aggregate and build upon prior research more effectively. By identifying recurrent themes, the study seeks to move the field toward a more cohesive understanding of how Indigenous contexts enrich organizational studies.
The researchers analyzed publications from 1932 to 2021. A primary limitation is that the current literature's dispersed nature makes it inherently difficult for researchers to easily synthesize and build upon previous findings without such comprehensive reviews.
Why it matters: Understanding diverse organizational perspectives requires moving past fragmented research toward a unified, multi-dimensional framework.
