Abstract Grandiosity and fuss are the main mistakes of Chinese management studies’ topic selection. Based on the current situation, three judgment dimensions, which are exploration and exploitation, practice and theory, and east and west are introduced to evaluate the current topic selection and provide suggestions for future studies. Chinese management studies’ topic selection should avoid both the mistakes of grandiosity and fuss. Studies which are from theory to theory or from phenomenon to phenomenon should be abandoned, and exploratory studies or studies which are targeted to solve practical problems should be encouraged. The ideal Chinese management studies should be more exploratory, and achieve balances between practice and theory, internationalization and localization.
