Abstract

(Supra-)National research policies and assessments, institutional priorities and individual intrinsic motivation continue to elevate the significance of the impact of business school research beyond the boundaries of our academic ecosystem. This growing interest, however, is not matched by a shared understanding of the actual types, stages, breadth, depth and metrics of research impact needed to guide the actions not just of scholars and their hosting schools and departments, but also the practices and principles of accreditation bodies like the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Grounded in the related literature and the consolidated experiences of current and previous members of the AIS Impact Award committee, this paper draws on insights from the field of Information Systems which informed the AACSB on their development of guidelines to assess business school research impact.
