Abstract
. Connecting management research to policy is a focal route through which management research can contribute to meaningful and sustainable social change. Yet, management researchers often fail to make this connection. The present article discusses management research’s potential to inform effective policy and social change, and provides a roadmap for how to realize that potential. Our perspective is rooted in the effective altruism (EA) philosophy, which argues that people should use evidence and careful reasoning to figure out how to use their scarce resources (i.e., time and money) to do the most good. We hope that this article can help to spark discussion and meaningful change within management research so that we, as individual scholars and as a field, can make a bigger and better impact.
期刊介绍:
Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP) aims to provide valuable insights to current and future thought leaders, including educators, business writers, consultants, executives, policy makers, and other professionals involved in management practice and policy. The publication seeks to bridge the gap between scholarly research and practical applications by presenting evidence-based approaches to address crucial management issues.
AMP publishes research papers that employ quantitative or qualitative evidence, either from a single study or a compilation of studies within a specific field of research. The journal does not accept opinion pieces but encourages articles that focus on the implications of findings for policy and practice rather than theoretical implications.
Examples of suitable articles for publication in AMP include practitioner or policy-oriented reviews of empirical studies, descriptive articles that contribute to our comprehension of management practices and strategic approaches, and articles highlighting the practical and policy implications of evidence-based work.
