Agenda for Practice Oriented Research: From Relevance versus Rigor to Relevance with Rigor
AIB Insights
(2022)
Abstract
Despite continuous recognition of the need for research that matters for practice, most of our research makes negligible impact on practice. We suggest a need to change the way we perceive practical impact and outline a definition of what research that matters for practice is. We develop an agenda for conducting research that meets our definition, assigning explicit roles for the academic scholars that produce research and the institutional environment that oversees their research, referring to academic institutions, journals, and academic associations. We call for scholars to change the way they view academic research and its role in society.
