Established management practices – such as Six Sigma or business process re‐engineering, as well as more recent practices such as agile management processes, HR analytics and beyond budgeting – are viewed by practitioners as the basic tools of their trade. Yet they have been known to wax and wane in popularity, often quite unpredictably, with one technique following the other in wave‐like fashion. The scholarly observation of this phenomenon has given rise to the literature on fads and fashions in management studies, which – building on earlier work in allied disciplines – has sought to explain the transience, persistence, and overall trajectory of management practices. In this paper, we review and integrate the existing literature on management fads and fashions, taking stock of the sizable body of work that has accumulated over the past three decades and which has, to our knowledge, never been reviewed comprehensively before. At the same time, we also note that technological change – with the advent of social media and the ubiquity of Internet connectivity, for example – has radically transformed how practitioners seek, consume, and engage with new practices, as well as the way in which such practices are broadcast and diffuse. In our review, therefore, we try to make this well‐established body of literature current by explicitly discussing how well its central tenets and theoretical arguments have stood the test of time, and propose useful directions for moving forward.

管理实践中的时尚与时尚：盘点与展望

从业人员将既定的管理实践（例如6 Sigma或业务流程再造）以及较新的实践（例如敏捷管理过程，HR分析和预算之外）视为其交易的基本工具。然而，众所周知，它们的流行在流行中常常是一波三折，而且常常以一种波状的方式紧随其后。对这种现象的学术观察已经产生了有关管理研究中的时尚和时尚的文献，这些文献以相关学科的早期工作为基础，试图解释管理实践的短暂性，持久性和总体轨迹。在本文中，我们回顾并整合了有关管理时尚和时尚的现有文献，总结过去三十年来积累的大量工作，据我们所知，以前从未进行过全面的审查。同时，我们还注意到，随着社会媒体的到来和互联网连接的普及，技术变革已从根本上改变了从业者寻求，消费和参与新实践的方式，以及改变方式。这种做法广为流传。因此，在我们的综述中，我们试图通过明确地讨论其中心宗旨和理论论点经受住时间的考验，使这一成熟的文献体系成为最新，并提出前进的有益方向。我们还注意到，随着社会媒体的到来和互联网连接的普及，技术变革已从根本上改变了从业者寻求，消费和参与新实践的方式，以及这种实践的传播和传播方式。扩散。因此，在我们的综述中，我们试图通过明确地讨论其中心宗旨和理论论点经受住时间的考验，使这一成熟的文献体系成为最新，并提出前进的有益方向。我们还注意到，随着社会媒体的到来和互联网连接的普及，技术变革已从根本上改变了从业者寻求，消费和参与新实践的方式，以及这种实践的传播和传播方式。扩散。因此，在我们的综述中，我们试图通过明确地讨论其中心宗旨和理论论点经受住时间的考验，使这一成熟的文献体系成为最新，并提出前进的有益方向。
