Abstract
Over 1,000 sessions at the 2023 Academy of Management Annual Meeting focused on research impact. Yet, these discussions and, to some extent, research impact itself seem reserved for ‘senior’ scholars. For instance, where impact is an important personal goal for many junior scholars, they are often excluded from conversations with decision makers and they lack training in the means to connect research to practical insights. Junior scholars often encounter environments where impact is considered a secondary outcome – compared to broadening existing theory. The session aims to promote voice among junior academics on research impact. Specifically, this PDW addresses three key topics, (1) the conceptualization of research impact; (2) challenges and opportunities in generating research impact; and (3) the means and tools for early career scholars to conduct impactful research. After a brief introduction, these topics will be addressed in a plenary session, where participant responses will be gathered through presenter software. The inputs will inform themes, which will then be covered in roundtable discussions, with discussion outputs consolidated by the organizers as an essay.
