Abstract Based on the effective match of theory with context, management research can be categorized into four distinct modes: mature theory, theoretical expansion, new theory, and theoretical deepening, each intended to resolve specific practical problems. The construction and innovation of Chinese management theory mainly follows the evolution path from “re-contextualization” to “de-contextualization” to achieve a dynamic cycle of “mature theory—theoretical expansion—new theory—theoretical deepening”, under the alternating influence of contextualized theories and theorized contexts. The western management theory can be revised and applied to the local context by the Chinese context, and the Chinese management theory can be constructed based on the uniqueness of the local context by it too. Through continuous innovation, these theories can diffuse and be disseminated. The fusion fosters the establishment of a management theory system accepted and recognized by both China and the West, enriching the “Chinese discourse system” of management theory and Chinese management wisdom.
