The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is launching a new initiative to bring the best research on management topics from universities and business schools in the UK to managers in the workplace, working in collaboration with British Academy of Management, the Advanced Institute of Management Research, the Association of Business Schools, and the British Library.

The purpose of the initiative is to assist universities in disseminating their research to a wider audience, help them demonstrate societal impact and raise the profile of this work with employers. It will also benefit practising managers by providing them with insights from credible, authoritative and leading edge knowledge from UK universities.

Academics accredited to a UK university are encouraged to submit research articles to an online knowledge transfer "marketplace" where they are available for rating by 86,000 practitioners. A selection of the top rated articles will then be presented thematically or by author or title. BAM is providing advice on the selection of these themes as part of it's involvement of the initiative.

The collection of articles will be delivered online via CMI’s website at www.managers.org.uk and the British Library’s Management & Business Studies Portal.

Why submit your articles?

• Raise your profile
• An opportunity to demonstrate the impact of your research
• Raise the profile of your university department with employer audience
• Facilitate the transfer of knowledge to the practitioner community
• Your opportunity to engage with a wide range of private, public and ‘third sector’ organisations
