This paper identifies factors that promote research productivity of production and operations management (POM) groups of researchers in US business schools. In this study, research productivity of a POM group is defined as the number of articles published per POM professor in a specific period of time. The paper also examines factors that affect research quality, as measured by the number of articles published per POM professor in journals, which have been recognized in the POM literature as an elite set. The results show that three factors increase both the research productivity and the quality of the articles published by professors of a POM group. These factors are (a) the presence of a POM research center, (b) funding received from external sources for research purposes, and (c) better library facilities. Doctoral students do assist in improving research quality and productivity, but they are not the driving force. These results have important implications for establishing policy guidelines for business schools. For example, real-world problems are funded by external sources and have a higher probability of publication. Furthermore, schools could place more emphasis on external funding, as most engineering schools do, since groups receiving external funding are more productive in terms of research.

“…A major reason why such a strongly restrictive policy could be undertaken was that unemployment was "exported" to other contries, i.e., the stock of foreign workers was greatly reduced. ,4 This approach is used, e.g., by Billings and Viksnins (1972), Skeels and Taylor (1972) and Bush, Hameiman and Staaf (1974). is See, e.g., Hawkins, Ritter and Walter (1973) and Kagann and Leeson (1978). Another possible approach is ranking the journals by the quality of institutional affiliations of contributors (Moore 1972) or by using a composite ranking based on peer evaluation, citation frequency, and institutional affiliation of contributors (McDonough 1975).…”

“…One might instead measure quality of journals by the extent of citation received or even by frequency of appearance on graduate student reading lists (see, e.g. Moore, 1972;Billings and Viksnins, 1972;Skeels and Taylor, 1972).…”

It is widely believed that one publishes or perishes in academic life. This proposition is examined and evidence noted that shows salary and success of various kinds are related to publication. Teaching appears not to be rewarded. But this does not mean that one goal dominates university life. When one examines how academics spend their time, what they state as their interests and so forth, a different picture emerges. Moreover the actual publication output of most academics is not large, and evidence on how academics attain their appointments suggests that publication is less important than it might appear. Publication is not an oppressive requirement. Finally, a brief examination of the outlet for much academic publication, the journal market, is made.
