“…This bias towards the Global North in the understanding of management education has already been identified, explicitly or implicitly, in previous works (see for example [12][13][14][15]) with very few having studied BS beyond the more traditional locations (see for example [16,17]). This leaves an important gap in terms of geographical coverage, and also (and more importantly) in knowing and understanding the approach to management education of institutions with different backgrounds, legacies, and trajectories than those in the Global North.…”

Ethics, Responsibility, and Sustainability in MBAs. Understanding the Motivations for the Incorporation of ERS in Less Traditional Markets

This study of Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs in regions with different history, background, legacies, and trajectories than those in the Global North aims at having an alternative view of how Ethics, Responsibility, and Sustainability (ERS) are incorporated in management education. To this end, the research uses case studies, analyzes in-depth interviews, and adopts an inductive stakeholder theory approach to identify and understand the motivations for the incorporation of the broad area of ERS in management education in relation to the schools’ main stakeholders, mainly students and their employers. The analysis of the data shows that individual motivations (individual level) and an articulated and embedded mission that incorporates different stakeholders (organizational/curriculum level) are strong predictors. Local regulations and legislation, along with the requirements from international accreditation agencies (institutions/environment level) are also predictors, although not that strong to go beyond the incorporation of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-related course in the curriculum of programs. Nevertheless, these CSR-related courses (organizational/curriculum level) are powerful mediators that create, as a minimum, awareness of ERS in MBA graduates who as a consequence modify their employment objectives. The data also show that the process leading to international accreditations (institutions/environment level), the expectation by employers that MBA graduates should have an ERS mindset/skills toolkit (institutions/environment level), and a hands-on, practice-based teaching methodology (organizational/curriculum level) can act as moderators. These findings show that business schools can become ERS predictors themselves, and to achieve this they need to have a better understanding of the different roles played by the different variables. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA18215 – China in Europe Research Network, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), www.cost.eu.

“…However, an emerging trend is for scholars to demonstrate the impact of their research not just on the academic researcher community through citations but also on student, practitioner, and policy communities. Regarding student communities, Aguinis, Ramani, Alabduljader, Bailey, and Lee (2018) provide an analysis of which management scholars have had the highest impact in penetrating textbooks as a measure of research relevance. With regard to practitioner and policy communities, the UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF) exercise that evaluates the quality of research in universities introduced assessment of ''impact cases'' as an addition to its evaluation based on publications in the most recent exercise in 2014 (Pidd & Broadbent, 2015).…”

Entrepreneurship research has grown rapidly in its scope, rigor, and impact. By every measure, our field now enjoys considerable academic acceptance and legitimacy as a scholarly discipline. However, several forces around the globe are demanding greater attention to (and perhaps redefinition of) relevance. We discuss what relevance means, how the field can achieve it, and how to best communicate it to the diverse stakeholders of our field.

“…Lastly, a substantial 11.7 per cent of all records which are citing CIM are classified in Scopus as (chapters of) books, handbooks, or textbooks. Following a rationale of external scholarly impact recently outlined by Aguinis, Ramani, Alabduljader, Bailey, and Lee (), this can be interpreted as a knowledge transfer to students, and eventually, future practitioners.…”

More than a quarter century of Creativity and Innovation Management: The journal's characteristics, evolution, and a look ahead

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

When this journal was founded in 1992 by Tudor Rickards and Susan Moger, there was no academic outlet available that addressed issues at the intersection of creativity and innovation. From zero to 1,163 records, from the new kid on the block to one of the leading journals in creativity and innovation management has been quite a journey, and we would like to reflect on the past 28 years and the intellectual and conceptual structure of Creativity and Innovation Management (CIM). Specifically, we highlight milestones and influential articles, identify how key journal characteristics evolved, outline the (co‐)authorship structure, and finally, map the thematic landscape of CIM by means of a text‐mining analysis. This study represents the first systematic and comprehensive assessment of the journal's published body of knowledge and helps to understand the journal's influence on the creativity and innovation management community. We conclude by discussing future topics and paths of the journal as well as limitations of our approach.
