There is a close relationship between indigenous research context and theory, where context acts as theory constraint and the sources of theory building material and frame, as well as the security of theory legitimacy. Based on one of our experiences on indigenous research of theoretical exploration, we summarize and interpret three typical problems faced by indigenous research. Firstly, the dialectical view on the existence of "Chinese management theory" and theory built on Chinese context is local knowledge of context specific theory, which can only be "Chinese management theory" until contextualization; secondly, the evaluation standard on "theory of Chinese management" should be the original, western one, while more tolerant on "Chinese management theory" adhering to logic support and empirical support; thirdly, indigenous research process is a "discussion" among multiple participants, which calls for a research paradigm such as engaged scholarship model.
