Abstract

This paper explores the path and influence of knowledge dissemination in interdisciplinary communication in management studies by analyzing citations to published papers in management. The study used econometric methods and network analysis techniques to reveal the interaction between management and other disciplines, such as applied economics, education, computer science and technology, and to analyzed the knowledge dissemination pathways of management. Disciplinary Diffusion Breadth (DDB), Disciplinary Diffusion Speed (DDS), Interdisciplinary Dissemination Speed (IDS), and Interdisciplinary Dissemination Intensity (IDI) were used to deeply analyze the interdisciplinary influence of management in terms of three dimensions: breadth, intensity, and speed. The study suggests that each of the first-level disciplines in management has a significant citation footprint in multiple fields, demonstrating the interdisciplinary characteristics and importance of management. Overall, the comprehensive influence of interdisciplinary management first-level disciplines, from high to low, are management science and engineering, public management, business management, agricultural economic management, and library,  information and archive management.
