Free white paper coming fall 2022: “Measuring Societal Impact in Business & Management Research: From Challenges to Change”
By Usha C. V. Haley of Wichita State University and Andrew Jack of the Financial Times.
With contributions from:
Altmetric, a Digital Science company, Sir Cary Cooper, Alliance Manchester Business School, Renate Meyer, WU Vienna / Copenhagen Business School, and Maura Scott, Florida State University.
Focusing on how we measure impact within business research and what a more responsible research environment might look like within the business school ecosystem, this white paper will demonstrate how societal impact can — and should — become central to business research assessment.
The white paper follows a lively discussion, encouraging feedback, and fertile follow-up questions from a recent webinar as well as a recent SAGE-sponsored AACSB research report, “Research That Matters: An Action Plan for Creating Business School Research That Positively Impacts Society.”
