Management research can positively affect business practice and society. Research can reduce uncertainty managers face in decision-making. Social scientists can identify solutions to social issues and grand challenges like COVID-19. However, management and organizational researchers currently lack the capacity and social infrastructure to maximize our positive impact on society.
The Impact Scholar Community aims to build the capacity to create positive social impact. Organized by and for early-career researchers, the Impact Scholar Community closely collaborates with senior scholars, and other impact-focused research organizations to equip early-career researchers for making positive change.
We at GRONEN support the Impact Scholar Community. We would like to encourage you to shape this emerging community and to join the inaugural meeting on April 23rd, 2020. For further questions, please contact Sylvia Grewatsch (Brock University) via sgrewatsch@brocku.ca.
Sign up here to join the Impact Scholar Community and RSVP for the kickoff event.
