The idea of impact has wide ranging and important implications for the academic community, and especially to the members of the Academy. Increasingly beyond our academic community, and even within our own community, publications in journals are said to matter very little. Universities especially are under increasing pressure to show impact; yet there is a total lack of clarity, shared sense making and understanding of what impact is, how it should or can be understood, measured and applied in practice. Many business schools occupy a peculiar position in Universities and society, and so their design, functions and relevance is under constant debate and contestation. An important question is can and should business schools be both 'scholarly like' and 'business like'? This PDW will bring together university administrators, researchers and people from industry to debate and discuss the idea of impact. The aim will be to initiate a range of strategic projects to help define, make sense of and measure impact that can be applied in decision making and policy making concerning the impact of scholarly practice.
