« Pitching My Research »

- Abstract
Building on Faff’s (2015) pitching template, in the current paper I further explore a methodical approach to pitching a new research proposal. Emphasis is given to providing general advice to both “pitchers “and “pitchees”. Moreover, the current paper provides an update on an extensive array of supplementary online resources. Most notably, to demonstrate that the pitch template is readily adaptable to many fields, a library of completed examples currently spans SEVENTY TWO alternative research areas, including: (1) corporate finance; (2) accounting; (3) corporate sustainability; (4) inter-disciplinary; (5) qualitative; (6) management; (7) chemistry; (8) mechanical engineering; (9) computer science; (10) mathematics; (11) physics; (12) healthcare; (13) psychology; (14) strategy; (15) governance; (16) sport; (17) energy policy; (18) climate change; (19) research policy; (20) taxation; (21) banking; (22) behavioural finance; (23) public policy and regulation; (24) education; (25) market microstructure; (26) information systems; (27) immunology; (28) biology; (29) management accounting; (30) multidisciplinary (climate science); (31) accounting theory; (32) accounting history; (33) archaeology; (34) behavioural economics; (35) humour; (36) phytology; (37) organic chemistry; (38) public sector accounting; (39) Islamic finance; (40) consumer marketing; (41) tourism; (42) philosophy; (43) research advice; (44) research student creativity; (45) pharmacy; (46) mining engineering; (47) education for sustainability; (48) public health; (49) corporate tourism; (50) sociology; (51) virology; (52) food science; (53) first aid; (54) emergency medicine; (55) orthopaedic medicine; (56) stock liquidity; (57) non-bank financial institutions; (58) agile software development; (59) bank subsidy; (60) hedge funds; … (65) financial literacy; … (70) imputation tax credits; (71) executive overconfidence; (72) security class actions. Other online materials and support include: web portal (PitchMyResearch.com); YouTube videos; themed pitch days; pitching competitions. The current paper is a companion to: Faff (2016a) “a year in review” of pitching and Faff (2016b) mapping “Pitching Research” Tasks into the RSD7 Framework. Also, this project has been identified as one of 30 Innovations that Inspire across the AACSB network worldwide Business Schools.
