Abstract Based on the perspective of scientific philosophy, this study took 15,663 articles from representative academic and practical journals in the field of management in China from 2013 to 2022 as the research objects and conducted co-occurrence analysis, emergence analysis, and temporal map analysis of keywords. The results reveal that the main reason for the difficulty of Chinese management research in addressing practical problems lies in the lack of breadth, depth, and timeliness to cover the majority of practical issues, explore complex problems, and keep up with changes in practice. Based on the aspects of breadth, depth, and timeliness, the study revealed the theoretical points for deepening the integration between management research and practice in China. In addition, this study proposed a pathway for enhancing breadth by broadening thinking orientation and examination standards, deepening depth through strengthening judgment criteria and support systems, and improving timeliness through enhancing research perspectives and innovative models.
