Valuation of research and scholarly output predicts innovation, affects careers, and guides resource allocations worldwide.

Recenzje

"A must-read for Business School Deans, all management scholars regardless of rank, and research managers alike … [this book] holds the potential to inform higher-education policy makers, as well as a broad range of practitioners who work closely with academics, aiding their insight into the contextual facets that influence and shape the delivery of impact in various scholarly domains around the world." Emily Yarrow, Academy of Management Learning & Education

"Since its establishment as an academic discipline, scholars in Management have been wracked by a core dilemma: How to gain legitimacy as a theory-grounded science while still staying relevant and having a practical impact? This book, and the ground-breaking research on which its based, tackles this dilemma head on. Beyond being required reading for Deans and T&P Committee members, the findings presented in this book deserve careful study by all those involved in and concerned with the future of management generally, and management education and research in particular." Peter A. Bamberger, Domberger Chair in Organization & Management, Tel Aviv University’s Coller School of Management, Israel and Research Director, Cornell University’s Smithers Institute, USA.

 

"An outstanding contribution ... the author, a very distinguished scholar, is leading the charge internationally to get business schools, government and funders to understand the importance of management research in terms of changing practice and policies rather than journal rankings of impact. This book is a must read by all Deans of business schools, university Presidents and funders of management research." Sir Cary L. Cooper, CBE, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organizational Psychology & Health, ALLIANCE Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK.

 

"A remarkable piece of scholarship. Written by a leader in the field, the book presents both original research and a concise survey of the key issues in achieving (or failing to achieve) impact in management research. A critical, practical and international book, this is a very significant publication for all of us who aspire to excellence and relevance in management research." Nic Beech, Vice-Chancellor, Middlesex University, UK and President of the British Academy of Management.
