Abstract: With the significant contextual differences between China and the West reasonable to be more widely recognized, “contextual” factors of Chinese characteristics become more prominent. How to deeply solve management issues from a variety of contexts with differences is a necessity for academic research. By conducting a grounded theory research on 12 domestic influential management journals from 1993 to 2012 , we have, in this article, explored the context path, the development process and the analytical framework of Chinese contextualization research. By the results of our study, we have discovered that Chinese contextualization research has included three main paths of direct use, phenomena analysis and context analysis; and experienced from direct use, limited contextualization concerned about phenomenon, deep contextualization concerned about phenomenon, limited contextualization concerned about context and deep contextualization concerned about context; Chinese contextual paths, the degree of contextualization and time dimensions can form Chinese contextual analysis framework matching a variety of contextual analysis. We have finally, based on the above analysis, given some recommendations on the future direction of Chinese contextual research.
