IFSAM Webinars

IFSAM webinar series on management research evaluation across the world: Jan – May 2021

Following up the recent Financial Times (FT) survey on management research and publications, IFSAM has launched a webinar series (using zoom) on the topic of management research (quality) evaluation across the world.

The monthly series will comprise 5 webinars: four with a particular focus on a stakeholder group each month from January to April and a final, closing one in May.

As you can see in the webpage through the link above, the first webinar took place on Jan 29 with editors of scientific journals and officers of different associations and organizations, as well as Andrew Jack, the editor of the FT in charge of global higher education, including the FT survey on management research.

The next three webinars to follow are with representatives of three other types of stakeholders in the panel: university presidents and deans which took place on February 24, editors of publishing houses with management journals and books on March 26 and representatives of ministries/research agencies in charge of management research evaluation on April 23. The final, closing one will be on May 20 with representatives from each stakeholder group. At the end of this series in May, we aim the IFSAM Council to issue a position statement.

The main insights for each webinar will be reflected in IFSAM conversation letters, published in our website.
