Abstract
In the July–August 1996 issue of Interfaces, “The Ombudsman” column consisted of an article by J. Scott Armstrong, which dealt primarily with the difficulties that academics face in getting papers published describing findings that are controversial or that contradict management folklore, and comments by three other authors, each of whom had similar difficulties with controversial work of their own, yet each of whom took a different perspective on the issue.
