Auditoire DOYEN 21
Management scholars are increasingly expected to publish research that is not only novel, original and theoretical insightful also makes an impact on practice and society at large. But what is actually impact in a management context? In this workshop, we will discuss different forms of impact management scholarship can have, and how to conduct impactful research. We will also do several hands-on exercises with participants to consider the impact their ongoing research projects may have.
