AoM Panel on Measuring, Managing and Improving the Impact of Business Schools

  • 1.  AoM Panel on Measuring, Managing and Improving the Impact of Business Schools

      Please join us for this interesting panel on Monday, July 28, 2025, 08:30-10:00 local time (GMT+2) in the Bella Center, room C1-m5. Our speakers include Andrew Jack (Global Education Editor of the Financial Times), Srilata Zaheer (former Dean of the Carlson School at the U of Minnesota), Felipe Monteiro (Professor at INSEAD), and Soren Hvidkjaer (Dean of Research at Copenhagen Business School). 

      The panel aims to discuss how we can measure, manage and improve the impact of business schools. There have been many criticisms of business schools and the education they offer, some focusing on a lack of real-world impact and others on negative externalities of business school training. At the same time business schools have attempted to improve their impact. With the recent publication of the Financial Times Business School Impact ranking a new way of looking at impact has been established. This panel will look at three interrelated questions. First, how should we think about, and particularly measure this impact? Second, how do business schools manage their impact? Third, can rankings such as the FT ranking help in increasing the impact of business schools, or should this come from an intrinsic drive of academics to become engaged scholars?
