Collaborative report provides guidance, resources, and practical pathways for business schools seeking to broaden the impact of their research
TAMPA, Fla., May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Business schools are under growing pressure to demonstrate that their research matters beyond academia, yet most lack a clear framework for doing so. Today, a coalition of 10 global academic organizations is offering a path forward through the release of A Framework for Research Impact: Insights, Pathways, and Calls to Action.
The report coincides with AACSB's inaugural Research Impact Conference, offered in partnership with the Academy of Management, and provides business schools with an actionable approach and resources to help broaden how they define, assess, and communicate research impact.
Developed by AACSB's Global Research Impact Task Force, the framework presents an expanded understanding of the research impact ecosystem, one that connects scholarship to business practice, public policy, teaching, and society.
