Editorial

Questions on quality of Management Research continue to receive critical comments. Just a couple of months back, this year, Prof. C Gopinath (Suffolk University, Boston) wrote on 'Research Blues', in leading journals (in April, 2013). Referring Lary Zicklin (Knowledge @ Wharton) and other analysts, Gopinath gave example of research works, where findings were questioned (or even reversed by subsequent studies). 'The difficulty of establishing cause and effect relationships between variables due to the many variables that can affect the situation, and the inability to keep all the other intervening variables constant, or trying to control them. Thus, conclusions are provided with various caveats about the weaknesses of the study and the limitations on generalisability'.
