到AMR查资料，发现了一篇好玩的作品。简直难以置信。
AMR自1976年从The Journal of the Academy of Management (AMJ)独立出来，成为纯粹的理论开发、回顾、书评和学术讨论与争鸣（Theory Development，Literature Review，Book Review，and Scholarly Dialog）的期刊。
1976年AMR第一卷第一期罕见地刊登了一篇诗词（Poem）。看作者名字应该是Chinese。不知道是真名还是笔名“无心”。将近50年前的事了。网上已然查不到作者之后的信息。之后AMR应该也再没看到过这种Genre的作品发表。
当年上决策课的时候，还会让学生读George Kelley （AMR， 1976）的文章Seducing the Elites。其中讲到如何诱因精英支持变革时，曾经引用韩非子的“势”和“场”的说法。
In keeping with Han Fei's conception of power as dependency, the elite can
arrange that controversies never get a hearing, that innovative projects with problems are "cooled-out" by denial of access to the decision making arena. Within this framework, the innovator must gain leverage over the elites by strategies to elicit their support and to protect the favored position enjoyed by the innovator and the innovative program.
那时的学者博学多闻，关心的是Wisdom，不会问Why Chinese？或者“你的理论贡献到底是啥”？当然，那时，整个field属于初创期，everything goes，low-hanging fruits galore。Open，naive，and exuberant。
回到这首诗词，读起来有时顺溜，有时拗口。直白，重复，对位，矫情。偶有深意。
20年前BBS盛行的时候，在下也写过很多类似的顺口溜。
这篇读起来，感觉就好像是我自己写的，20年前写的，熟悉而又陌生。
迄今为止，博士毕业30年，只有一篇AMR。还是21年前的事了。不好意思。希望还能再弄点儿。要是AMR还能整诗就好了。这次即使署名You-Xin也是极好的。
