Description | Through a systematic literature review, it was identified that our body of knowledge on business schools and impact agenda is missing crucial data on the institutional environment of business schools and how this influences impact and relevance of scholarly activities. It also raised some interesting ideas for how business schools could be investigated in the future. Through 59 semi-structured interviews with business school academics, the institutional environment of business schools is found to be a complex one, consisting of multiple coexisting pressures (publishing academic work, meeting student needs, and creating external impact). There is a mismatch between institutionally prescribed impact behaviours and the kind of impact that can be achieved authentically on-the-ground. Business school academics have bounded autonomy to achieve impact, and this is particularly felt for junior academics. |
Exploitation Route | It is hoped that the research outputs will inform future researchers in their own work in the areas of higher education, business schools, and institutional complexity. This is likely to be achieved through journal publications and conference papers. It is also anticipated that this research will have significant practical implications for those in leadership positions within higher education and the relevant policymakers. |
