在动态、不确定、复杂和模糊的经营环境下,中层管理者作为企业联通战略制定与执行的关键环节,其角色和价值越来越受到学术界和企业界的关注。然而,当前围绕战略过程所开展的中层管理者研究还较为分散,缺乏对中层管理者角色及行为的系统性研究,尤其对中国情境下的中层管理者管理实践认识不足。本文试图对1986—2020年间国内外顶尖期刊发表的103篇中层管理者文献进行分析,提出一个整合的中层管理者概念框架。本文首先对中层管理者的概念内涵及其在战略过程中的角色作用进行系统阐述;接着分别梳理了中层管理者在战略决策和战略执行过程中的作用机理;最后,总结了现有研究的不足并提出在中国制度文化和数字化情境下开展中层管理者研究的建议。本文构建了中层管理者研究的整体概念框架,厘清了中层管理者参与企业战略过程的作用机理,提出了中国情境下未来研究的发展方向,为进一步推动中层管理者研究的发展奠定了基础。
