This study presents longitudinal evidence on the dissension of Management and Business Research (MBR) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It looks after intellectual bridges linking clusters among such dissension. It was implemented a coword network analysis to a sample of 12,000+ articles published by authors from LAC during 1998-2017. Structural network scores showed an increasing number of keywords and mean degree but decreasing modularity and density. The intellectual bridges were those of the cluster formed by disciplines/fields that tend toward consensus (e.g., mathematical models) and not by core MBR subjects (e.g., strategic planning).

意见分歧还是共识？拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的管理与商业研究

这项研究提供了关于拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区（LAC）的管理与商业研究（MBR）分歧的纵向证据。它负责在这种分歧之间建立联系集群的知识桥梁。它对1998年至2017年期间LAC作者发表的12,000多篇文章样本进行了词网络分析。结构网络得分显示关键字数量和平均程度不断增加，但模块性和密度却在下降。智力桥梁是由趋于达成共识的学科/领域（例如数学模型）而非核心MBR学科（例如战略规划）形成的集群桥梁。
