ABSTRACT
The School’s vision and shared understanding of the kinds of value we are working to deliver for different stakeholder groups - students, researchers, business practitioners, policymakers and civic communities-are key to setting priorities and for supporting researchers to design ambitious, meaningful and impactful research. As the consequences of the Anthropocene become more apparent, and work to devise research strategies that develop and direct effective research capabilities and resources for societal, economic, and environmental value, the need for speed will become more apparent too. Rapid change will require collaboration between business schools; regionally, nationally and internationally, as we research new ways to reorganise our economised society and our relationship with our planet. Business and management schools should strengthen their connection with professional bodies and learned societies. By leading business, science and social science partnerships – supporting engagement across a large community, the initiative aims to deliver productivity, inclusion, sustainability and innovation.
