DOI: MANAGEMENT RESEARCH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE: BROADENING THE MEANING OF IMPACT
Prof. Rashmi Shukla , Associate Professor, The Indian Institute Of Management Bangalore,India Prof. Praveen Pandey , Professor, The Indian Institute Of Management Bangalore,IndiaAbstract
The impact of management research has traditionally been measured in terms of its academic contributions, such as publishing in top-tier journals and citations. However, this narrow focus has been criticized for not adequately addressing the broader societal impact of research. This paper aims to broaden the meaning of impact in management research and discuss the importance of impact beyond academia. Based on a literature review, the paper suggests that impact should also be measured in terms of its societal and practical applications, including its ability to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. The paper concludes that a broader perspective of impact is essential to address real-world problems and improve people's lives.
