Abstract
The aim of this panel is to generate discussion among researchers and deans about new directions for research that will generate reliable (repeatable and cumulative) knowledge with relevance for addressing important business and societal problems. The session draws on an interdisciplinary white paper, “A Vision of Responsible Research in Business and Management” (2016) co-authored by 24 senior scholars across five business disciplines from 23 universities in five countries. The white paper begins with a vision of 2030 when business schools around the world have adopted a mission of “business and management research in service of society” and have transformed their research programs toward this mission. It proposes a set of principles for responsible research as well as a set of actions by each of the stakeholders connected with the research eco-system. We will use a debate/dialectic format to discuss the pros and cons of the vision, principles, and actions. The session participants will be invited to join the debate. At the end of the session, we hope that the participants will leave with confidence about the potential of responsible research that will align business school research with societal needs.
