How, when and for whom does management research
create impact?
If you're interested, the visual abstract available here and the abstract is as follows:
This paper introduces the special issue focusing
on Impact. We present the four papers in
the special issue and synthesise their key themes, including dialogue,
reflexivity and praxis. In addition, we expand
on understandings of impact by exploring how, when and for whom management
research creates impact and we elaborate four ideal types of impact by
articulating both the constituencies for whom impact occurs and the forms it
might take. We identify temporality as critical to a more nuanced
conceptualization of impact and suggest that some forms of impact are
performative in nature. We conclude by suggesting that management as a
discipline would benefit from widening the range of comparator disciplines to
include disciplines such as art, education and nursing where practice, research
and scholarship are more overtly interwoven.
