CROSSROADS—Increasing the Impact of Organization Science Research: Lessons from Economics

The field of organization science has many important insights to offer to practice, but often those insights go unnoticed. This article uses examples from a related discipline, economics, to suggest actions that the organization science field could consider in order to increase its impact. History: This manuscript is part of the five-piece crossroads collection “Organization Research as an Applied Science,” edited by Gokhan Ertug and Stephen Zhang. The companion pieces are Zhang and Ertug (2025) , Eesley and Gerber (2025) , Berry (2025) , and Yoeli and Rand (2025) .

Abstract

The field of organization science has many important insights to offer to practice, but often those insights go unnoticed. This article uses examples from a related discipline, economics, to suggest actions that the organization science field could consider in order to increase its impact. History: This manuscript is part of the five-piece crossroads collection “Organization Research as an Applied Science,” edited by Gokhan Ertug and Stephen Zhang. The companion pieces are Zhang and Ertug (2025) , Eesley and Gerber (2025) , Berry (2025) , and Yoeli and Rand (2025) .
