Summary: Scholars argue for the merits of advocacy-based research over research pursued for objective truth. This essay extends Tsang's Journal of Management Inquiry essay (2022) and suggests that political advocacy has replaced the pursuit of objective truth in management research. Using examples, the essay suggests that this politically focused advocacy will be detrimental to the continued professional development of the management discipline.

Summary: This study evaluated the benefits and harms of physical activity interventions in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on 11 randomized controlled trials. The results suggest that physical activity may improve symptoms of IBS, but the effects on quality of life and abdominal pain are uncertain. The certainty of evidence is very low, indicating a need for higher quality research in this area.

Summary: The study reveals that while price and store availability remain important factors for consumers choosing milk and dairy products, new aspects related to sustainable behavior such as ecological certification, country of origin, or traditional products are also considered. However, the consideration of these factors depends on the income level of the respondents, with higher incomes allowing for the consideration of new criteria.
