Abstract This article aims to explore the potential dimensions of management research (MR) in order to open a non-scientific window for MR, which will contribute more academic value. This article firstly offers an interpretation on CAI Yulin’s paper and reshapes its core question into the management’s single scientific dimensional bias. Then it explicates why IACMR tends to adopt positivist paradigm, why it is so successful in current context and what troubles it must cope with in the future. Thirdly, it presents why multiple paradigms should be appreciated so as to make the problems to determine the methods. Finally, the article anticipates IACMR to play a more active and responsible role in assessment on scholar’s academic work and in scholar’s personal development, and proposes Anne S.Tsui’s conundrum. Further, it states ‘interpretivism’ as the optional approach in MR.
