This Professional Development Workshop will provide management researchers with a venue to define, to debate, to converse on and to shape global initiatives and institutional support with a view to conducting impactful and relevant research. We approach the issue of impact from diverse global and professional perspectives, including that of researchers, administrators, managers and consultants representing academia, business and government. The PDW participants include a range of senior, mid-level and junior researchers who are exploring impact globally as well as have impacted business and government practices and environments through their research: the panel includes academics, educational administrators, leaders in professional associations, and those with significant senior managerial expertise (up to the level of CEO) in the USA, EU and Asia. Our panel will interactively explore with attendees through presentations and round-table discussions how academic impact gets understood globally, not just through idioms we employ and issues that we choose to study, but also through funding, co-creation with stakeholders and rival academic fields, career moves, and other institutional, regulatory, economic, cultural and sociological currents.
No pre-registration is required. However, If possible, please submit to uhaley@gmail.com brief (one or two lines) indicators of areas you may like to explore in the round-table discussions including but not limited to institutional support, business and
