We are excited to announce the publication of the latest in our series of Management Impact Books, co-published with Routledge. This edition features the research of BAM Chair (2023-24) Professor Emma Parry who, alongside her co-author and former BAM Vice-Chair Professor Colin Pilbeam from Cranfield University, have taken a fresh look at this vital, but often overlooked, aspect of management education and research.
Examining the sources of impact available from doctoral programmes, Impact in Doctoral Education: Product, Person and Process focuses on their influence on academic knowledge, policy and practice. Significantly, it highlights the crucial impact that these programmes have on the individual and the enduring consequences of this.
Emma and Colin’s research draws on their extensive experience and conversations with stakeholders in doctoral education from around the world and incorporates real case examples. By providing practical guidance throughout the book, it enables readers to enhance the design of new and existing doctoral programmes for greater impact. Each chapter ends with questions to stimulate reflection on the readers’ experience of impact from doctoral education, with the concluding chapter outlining a manifesto for enhancing and ensuring impact from doctoral research in the future.
The BAM and Routledge Management Impact book series was introduced to present shortform books that demonstrate how management scholarship has impacted upon the real world. By incorporating case study examples and highlighting the link between scholarship, policy and practice, the series provides an essential resource for postgraduate students and researchers seeking to understand how to create impact through their work. The concise nature of the books also ensures that they can be useful reading for reflective practitioners.
