Listen to a Deep Dive podcast summarizing this article: https://lnkd.in/eTwthdWg Here are five key takeaways from our Journal of Management article: 1️⃣ Prioritize Manager Involvement: To make research more relevant to real-world management, it's crucial to actively involve managers in research, ensuring that studies address practical challenges and managers' needs. 2️⃣ Incorporate The Manager in Theories: Develop and test theories that explicitly include managers as central figures, recognizing their unique influences and roles within organizational dynamics. 3️⃣ Use Multilevel and Multimethod Research Approaches: To effectively capture the complexity of management issues, employ multiple levels of analysis (individual, team, organizational) and diverse research methods (qualitative, quantitative, experimental). 4️⃣ Bridge Academic and Practical Worlds: Find synergies between academic activities (research, teaching) and practical engagements (consulting, industry collaborations) to enhance the practical impact of research findings. 5️⃣ Communicate Effectively with Practitioners: Improve the dissemination of research outcomes by using clear, jargon-free language and engaging directly with managerial audiences to make academic insights more accessible and actionable. Let’s bridge the gap between academic research and management practice and take a more manager-centric approach to scholarly work. David Audretsch Caroline Flammer David Teece Cynthia E.
