While business academics want their work to have external value, many have found that societal impact did not result in tenure, awards or research funding. Stakeholders such as academic associations, journals and publications have begun to place greater stress on measures of societal impact; the impact of management research comprises 25% of the overall assessment criteria of the Research Excellence Framework, however there needs to be greater institutional credit and recognition for engagement with social impact issues.

Yet, data and research show that some firms never left, and others found their way back, while the Russian repressive regime continued to strengthen.

One, therefore, can reasonably ask why did foreign corporations remain in Russia after its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014? And how should we evaluate corporate sanctions and withdrawals when fighting the Russian and other repressive regimes?

The trend towards triviality stems partly from changes in academic institutions and incentives, leading to more competition and a focus on measurable proxies of impact. However, surveys indicate that impactful academic research may emerge from cross-collaborations between academics from different disciplines, policymakers, and businesspersons. Interdisciplinary research is viewed as more impactful than single-discipline research, though more difficult to conduct and publish in top-tier journals. The article suggests that smaller trust-based teams of cross-collaborators are less likely to produce trivial research, but may also produce less published research, thereby garnering fewer rewards. Ultimately, the goal of research is often seen as career advancement, and measures of impact such as journal rankings and lists are viewed as invalid. The article suggests that these trends towards triviality transcend management academics and indicate the prevalence of Karl Popper's normal science, to the detriment of societal progress

The White Paper aims to move the dial towards ways in which societal impact could become central to the assessment of business and management research. The White Paper follows lively discussion, encouraging feedback and fertile follow-up questions from a recent webinar of the same title. Here the authors focus more specifically on the challenges relating to how we measure societal impact within business research and what a more responsible research environment might look like within the business school ecosystem. The White Paper includes contributions by two journal editors, Renate E. Meyer of Organization Studies, and Maura Scott of the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing; a sobering snapshot of research social metrics within business schools compared to other areas of the university by Altmetric; and, some suggestions for post- pandemic business and management research directions in relation to health and well-being from Professor Sir Cary Cooper.

In this paper, we present the findings from a qualitative meta-analysis of literaturebased accounts of chefs' creative leadership practices from the context of haute cuisine. We bring together both the leader-chefs' and academic authors' understandings of practices available in scholarly papers to achieve a credible picture of creative leadership practices in haute cuisine. We present our findings as a meta-vignette introducing nine prototypical characters representing patterns of practices that leader-chefs perform as they are fostering creativity. We further demonstrate when and how leader-chefs employ practices that are more typical of facilitating and integrating contexts. The nine characters afford an immediate intuitive understanding of the creative leadership practices in haute cuisine, helping scholars to look for and analyse creative leadership and support creative leaders to understand better and be more mindful of their practices.

Accounts of the creative process tend to be retrospective and implicitly ground the creative act ... more Accounts of the creative process tend to be retrospective and implicitly ground the creative act within the person, the mind, the moment, the idea; in doing so, they often miss the larger sociomaterial qualities that can provide us with important insights about the social relationality and playfulness of the creative process. In this article, we examine the creative process through an antenarrative lens that we consider very useful for theorizing from a cultural and sociomaterial perspective. More specifically, we argue that 'having an idea' is a contextualized and embodied process that can be regarded as an antenarrative of the overall creative process. We also discuss how the paradoxical relation between the formative and sudden manifestations of the creative act can be understood through the notion of play.

Article introduction (by Liisa Valikangas): "Insightful scripting may require a pursuit of knowledge that is nuanced with local and historical idiosyncracies (Kieser, 1994). Corporations around the globe exhibiting similarity may indeed bestow legitimacy; yet such global standards may bear multiple cultural interpretations (e.g., Adler, Doktor, & Redding, 1986). And while emerging economies undergo seemingly similar phases in their economic transition from rural to advanced, their local uniqueness can fuel the metanational innovation global corporations seek (Doz, Santos, & Williamson, 2001). Seeing the world differently will also support the search for strategic novelty (Valikangas & Gibbert, 2015) and ultimately make economies more resilient through their explorative variation."

We focus on the concept of antenarratives, how managers’ and other stakeholders’ fragmented speculations regarding futures may legitimate or resist organizational change. Antenarratives are not yet fully-formed narratives, but rather pieces of organizational discourse that help to construct identities and interests. We explain the theoretical relevance of Russian socio-linguistic Mikhail Bakhtin’s space and time conceptualizations (chronotopes) for strategic narratives of change, and illustrate how antenarratives play important roles in narrative chronotopes. We relate German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s reasons for being in relation to others (existential ontology) to stakeholders’ and organizational identities, and to antenarrative glimpses in Bakhtin’s chronotopes. Through these theorizations, we contribute to conversations surrounding managerial discourses of organizational change, and discussions on how researchers may analyze antenarratives in relation to stabilized narratives. We use microstoria, or little-story analysis, and the case of Burger King Corporation’s (BKC’s) international strategizing, to highlight emergent conflicts and their resolution for sensemaking that includes diverse organizational stakeholders and affects organizational effectiveness.

Researchers have framed internationalization as market growth and expansion through foreign direct investment (FDI). We use narrative theory to frame a bigger, richer picture. Using Mikhail Bakhtin’s typology of nine space–time conceptions and directed observations of McDonald’s Corporation, we show how multinational enterprises (MNEs) create narratives of internationalization to mitigate the risks of FDI. Competing space–time conceptions in consumers’, authors’ and societies’ stories interact with managerial narratives to affect international product and task environments. We increase awareness of MNEs’ storytelling by offering a typology of stakeholders’ stories across space and time.

Governments around the world have implemented policies to support consumption of solar energy and production of solar PV products. These policies have varied across countries and across time, thus contributing to
regulatory uncertainty. This article addresses two related questions. First, how does regulatory uncertainty in the solar PV industry shape firms’ market and non-market strategies? Second, how might firms’ responses to this public-policy environment affect technolog- ical development and the locus of manufacturing? Government policies on solar PV, and firms’ strategies to over-come regulatory uncertainty, may have unintended consequences. Firms’ decisions on location and
technology development may result in loss of employment and national competitiveness for developed countries; and firms’ market strategies may increase regulatory uncertainty if they do
not involve non-market stakeholders. (Keywords: Government and Business, Energy Policy, Public Policy, Green Manufacturing, Regulation, Corporate Strategy)

From 1972 to 2004 under its process-patent regime, India's pharmaceutical industry grew to become the world's fourth largest. Indian companies were becoming globally
competitive in generics and clinical testing, and moving into product R&D. Researchers have debated the effects of India's new product-patent laws' effects on these trends. The authors
cover the domestic characteristics and global competitiveness of India's pharmaceutical industry. They contrast data (from 2001 to 2004) on patents in India's process-patent regime with preliminary data (from 2005 to 2008) on patents in the country's new product-patent regime. They argue that Indian pharmaceutical companies have changed their decision-making in response to changed patent laws by moving from process to product research. However, the preliminary results indicate that these changes may have hurt domestic innovation. They conclude with strategic implications for the Indian pharmaceutical industry and highlight the need for research and public policy to establish optimal social returns from product-patent regimes.

This article integrates and extends these perspectives to develop a view of corporate contributions as managerial masques. It argues that managers use corporate contributions to influence various stakeholders including stockholders, consumers, employees, investors, publics and societal institutions. A strategic framework is used to explore how managers promote managerial and corporate interests through corporate contributions. the societal implications of managers' discretionary uses of corporate contributions are also discussed.

The four personality types seem to use distinct heuristics to gather data, to generate and to evaluate alternatives. The connected heuristics appear as cognitive trails. We propose that different personality types habitually use certain cognitive trails; consequently, they can fall prey to biases that lurk in these trails. Cognitive trails may include linked input, output, and operational biases. We present the results from a pilot study to illustrate some connections between personality types and biases. We also explore some implications for future research and for management practice.

These differing strategies have resulted in vastly different business environments, each with their strengths and weaknesses in the new global economy. The authors conclude that despite capital shortages, Indian companies have consistently outperformed Chinese companies, although the Chinese are catching up in certain sectors. The paper also explores the role of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in shaping competitive environments and local companies' strengths. Consequently, the paper has policy and developmental implications for India and China.

Universities, governments, faculty-evaluation committees, grant-bestowing institutions, scholars,... more Universities, governments, faculty-evaluation committees, grant-bestowing institutions, scholars, and accreditation organizations have increasingly insisted on identifying and placing value on research impact. Valuation of research and scholarly output predicts innovation, affects careers, and guides resource allocations worldwide.

This book joins the burgeoning conversation in management and the social sciences with theoretical and applied discussions of the concepts, measurements, costs and benefits that accrue to pursuing scholarly impact. The author draws on a pioneering study by the Academy of Management that asked its global membership of 20,000 how they assessed scholarly impact, including rankings and impact factors, and how institutions supported this pursuit. Through qualitative and quantitative cross-country analysis by professorial rank, geographical region and support for various metrics, as well as exploration of parallel discussions in the social and hard sciences, the author argues for an urgent re-examination of the visible and invisible hands of research evaluation that shape lives and global societies.

The book presents original data on the external impacts of management research on policy, through the media, and in interest displayed by constituencies, which will make the book of interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of business and management. Recommendations from leading management scholars and from the data follow for more valid, more reliable and less cynical metrics of research impact.

Usha Haley shares findings of a recent Academy of Management report that sought answers to these questions by surveying its 20,000 members and conducting a selection of in-depth interviews with prominent figures. A majority of respondents indicated journal rankings did not reflect scholarly impact, yet publications in top-tier journals and citations were nonetheless regarded as the most important indicators of impact. Meanwhile, most academics considered impact on practice to be important, but also felt the greatest influence of management research had been on other management academics. Most scholars felt the present system of faculty evaluation and business school rankings has led to an overreliance on traditional techniques and methodologies, and even "junk science".

More on this research is at DOI: https://doi.org/10.33548/SCIENTIA1014
In particular, Professor Usha Haley's research found that Chinese-funded operations shifted away from environmentally friendly production and led to greater methane pollution, despite increased federal regulation, while innovation from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) plummeted.
Haley collected data through interviews with Chinese and U.S. managers, site visits, surveys of managers, archival data on green patents, federal regulation, company statistics, and industry operations.

The project consisted of two interrelated parts: a qualitative study and quantitative survey on scholarly impact, and their meaning to the AOM’s various constituencies. To summarize some of the major results, the AOM’s members perceived:
* the top five audiences for scholarly research as other academics in Management; top managers and decision makers in companies; governments and policymakers; other academics in the Social Sciences; and, students
* the top five indicators of scholarly impact as scholarly articles in top-tier journals; scholarly citations to research; scholarly books; competitive research grants, such as NSF; and, articles in practitioner-oriented/industry publications
* scholars’ impact on practice and on government policy as intensely or strongly important indicators of scholarly impact, yet often receiving inadequate, institutional support
* inter-disciplinary research as definitely or probably more impactful than single-discipline research, yet more difficult to publish in top-tier journals
* academic institutions as strongly considering for merit, more than any other indicator, publications in top-tier journals, and as sometimes supporting their pursuit of scholarly impact
* journal lists, journal rankings, and impact factors as definitely not, probably not, or perhaps not reflecting journal quality and scholarly impact, despite their widespread use as indicators of research merit
* Management research as somewhat influential, with the greatest influence being on other Management academics, including what they currently research, will research, and teach.
Management scholars made several actionable recommendations on moving the field forward from its position of academic legitimacy for wider social influence, which the report also includes.

See rights and permissions. Published by BMJ. A recent article in BMJ EvidenceBased Medicine asserted the following, ‘We begin by saying that p values themselves are not flawed. Rather, the use, misuse or abuse of p values in ways antithetical to rigorous scientific pursuits is the flaw’. We show that this assertion is both wrong and misleading. To demonstrate the errors, we start with another wrong assertion on the same page: ‘The only information to be gleaned from p values is whether the observed data are likely where the null hypothesis (that no effect exists) [is] true’. This assertion erroneously assumes that p values are based on null hypotheses when instead they are based on null hypotheses plus added assumptions. For example, one assumes random sampling from the population, 3 a false assumption in almost every medical paper (or business paper or psychology paper) we have read. So many added assumptions exist that researchers have proposed assumption taxonomies. 5 All added assumptions have a very high improbability of being true and herein lies the tale. Statisticians often refer to the model M as including the null hypothesis (or test hypothesis) H and a set of added assumptions A, so that M=H+A. At best, p values indicate how likely the data are, given the model, not the hypothesis. However, because A doubtless contains at least one wrong assumption, M likely is false too. Thus, the null hypothesis may be embedded in a wrong model. Therefore, small p values fail to reveal whether the errors are in added assumptions or the null hypothesis too. A possible counter is that although most models are false, some might be close to true, and so p values may prove useful in reject versus not reject decisions. With dichotomisation, even a slight wrongness, such as lack of random selection, means models are false, and researchers should reject them. Models are wrong regardless of p values, thereby compromising their usefulness. Aguinis et al used the analogy of looking into a murky pool: p values can tell you that the pool likely exists (that you can reject the null hypothesis of no effect), but we also need the effect size to determine the pool’s depth (the size of the effect). We argue that yes, effect size matters, but the pool may not exist. A p value cannot tell you that a pool likely exists because p values do not come from null hypotheses but rather from the wrong models in which they are embedded. P values can help uncover what we know already— that the model is imperfect. In sum, we know the ground is not perfectly uniform, but can draw no sound conclusion about the pool or the likelihood of observations given the pool’s existence (or lack thereof). In conclusion, the best way not to misuse p values is to avoid using them to draw definitive conclusions about hypotheses.

Through theorizing, contextualised in the haute cuisine industry, we demonstrate that chefs' practices, which we collected from the literature, can help depicting 'prototypical' characters that chefs adopt when organizing and leading for creativity. Each character is a metaphor symbolizing a constellation of organizational constraints on entrepreneurship, play and creativity. In other words, our characters signify different ways of how the entrepreneurial space in which creativity and play happens is constrained and provide vignettes for researchers to explore actions in context and to look for evoking stories of organizational creativity.

Importantly, we want this journal to ensure the International Association for Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM) is further recognized as the world leader in terms of knowledge, theory and practice in this growing field, which is dynamic and constantly changing. As IACCM continues to grow globally in its outreach and engagement, with increasing interest from government, industry and other sectors, it is becoming evident how complex and difficult it is to strategically align interests and agents to deliver a service or product, to innovate a solution, or to form shortor long-term alliances, networks and partnerships with successful outcomes. As such, JSCAN seeks to be a portal through which peer-reviewed, evidencebased research, along with good theory and practice, will advance our knowledge of core elements related to these challenges. This makes JSCAN the natural home for both empirical and theoretical pieces that speak to these challenges: be it the design, execution, evaluation of contracts; how various agents make sense of the benefits to be realized from the processes of contracting and negotiating; the nature and practice of negotiation; the successes and limitations of structuring relationships through various forms of contracts; the competencies, skills and dynamics involved in strategic contracting and negotiations; the nature of conflict and risk allocation and their relationship to trust, and especially

After all, not foreign armies, but its own crumbling economy, defeated the Soviet Union. As with everything else, how one measures national power and influence depends on why one measures these concepts, what measures one uses and how one interprets them. Converting nations' GDPs into dollars can provide misleading data, not least because of grossly undervalued, overvalued or widely-fluctuating currencies. Consequently, economists often use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) rather than raw GDP to gauge the relative sizes of national economies. PPP takes into account the differences in prices of goods and services between nations. A haircut for instance is much cheaper in Beijing than in New York, so a dollar buys more in China than in the USA. PPP corrects for this by valuing goods and services on a like-...

To aid corporate restructuring, East Asian economies have passed new laws and regulations for more efficient bankruptcy procedures and improved bank-supervisory standards. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has also poured into East Asia in 1999 and 2000. This paper provides an historical overview of corporate restructuring in Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand since the outbreak of the financial crisis. It also explores the implications of growth and economic dependency, needs for transparency and increased FDI on corporate restructuring in East Asia.
