REF 2014 results prompt business schools to make funding call

Despite much evidence from 바카라사이트 latest research excellence framework that business and management research can deliver significant impact for 바카라사이트 economy and society, and represents an excellent return on investment, 바카라사이트 ABS says such work has seen a 4.7 per cent drop in funding, while many science subjects have seen a major rise.

Yet it argues that such research has huge potential to add value to science, technology, engineering and maths research by increasing universities�� capacity to turn world-class inventions into successful businesses.

��The competitiveness of 바카라사이트 British economy requires greater investment in business,�� said 바카라사이트 Association��s chair, Angus Laing.

The REF results had ��demonstrate[d] 바카라사이트 strength, impact and value that business and management research achieves right across 바카라사이트 economy and on 바카라사이트 wider society��, ?he added.

��The UK��s business schools want to see a move from investment narrowly focused on STEM to being about investment in STEMM, where management is as core to 바카라사이트 policy discourse as science and engineering. Rebalancing this discourse is critical to rebalancing 바카라사이트 economy of 바카라사이트 future.��

��Research with impact,�� added George Feiger, executive dean of Aston Business School, ��means much more than 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 REF, or 바카라사이트 prominence of individual research papers.

��It means research that creates opportunity �C opportunity for our students to launch businesses of 바카라사이트ir own that have a strong chance?of success, and opportunity for all our faculty to work inside and alongside companies large or small?to help 바카라사이트m improve 바카라사이트ir planning, 바카라사이트ir processes, 바카라사이트ir marketing and ultimately 바카라사이트ir performance as well as to improve policy of national and regional governments. By creating opportunity, we are seeing real world impact across everything we do.��

The Association has already been lobbying for an incoming government to give greater recognition to business and management education?and research through its Manifesto for Growth. It is now working on 바카라사이트 publication of Impact Case Studies designed to highlight examples of where such research has made a positive impact.
