Background
AMLE is at the forefront of ‘impact’ debates in management research and education, just as AMLE authors often engage with stakeholders to make a difference to managerial/pedagogical practise through their work.
Who is the audience?
The event will be of interest to deans of business schools, academics, practitioners, and journalists with a broader interest in the field of management learning and education, and its connections with practise.
Why attend?
The event will showcase pathways through which researcher engagement with wider stakeholders can improve practise at work or in management education. At the same time, the event provides a forum in which academics can learn from practitioners about current challenges at work (and where perhaps academics can offer solutions).
Highlights
The event includes keynote speeches by Andrew Hill (Senior business writer at the FT & consulting editor, FT Live) and Elizabeth Heichler (Editorial director at MIT Sloan Management Review). Four AMLE authors will share their experience concerning engagement efforts with practise before and/or following the publication of their articles. Finally, Professor Spicer will contribute a ‘Dean’s perspective on impact to the event.
