This article seeks to synthesise three fields of inquiry – management studies, linguistics and cognitive psychology – to explore an arguably emerging phenomenon of global management knowledge (MK) impoverishment. To this end, three literatures are reviewed and interrogated for the insights they may provide into the underlying factors affecting global MK: trends in knowledge production, Englishisation of management scholarship and the culturally determined differences in cognition. Arguments are developed through descriptive investigation, discussion and analysis. The central proposition of this article is that the politics of knowledge production, the hegemony of English as the dominant language of management studies and the variations in thinking styles are synergistically interlinked in a way that facilitates Anglophone homogenisation of management research and potentially leads to global MK impoverishment. The ways of addressing the situation are discussed.

全球管理知识是否正在走向贫困？

本文旨在综合三个探究领域——管理研究、语言学和认知心理学——来探索一种可以说是全球管理知识 (MK) 贫乏的新兴现象。为此，对三篇文献进行了审查和询问，以了解它们可能对影响全球 MK 的潜在因素提供的见解：知识生产的趋势、管理学术的英语化以及文化决定的认知差异。论证是通过描述性调查、讨论和分析而形成的。本文的中心命题是知识生产的政治，英语作为管理研究的主导语言的霸权和思维方式的变化以一种促进管理研究的英语同质化的方式协同地相互关联，并可能导致全球 MK 贫困化。讨论了解决这种情况的方法。
