    Do you think the current research ecosystem is perfectly designed to solve society's critical problems?  If so, please skip this message. It isn't for you!

    The HIBAR Research Alliance (https://hibar-research.org/) and the Responsible Research for Business and Management (RRBM) network (https://www.rrbm.network/) are joining for a special 1 hour event on February 1st (11am-noon PT) entitled, "An Institutional Change Project: The Experience of RRBM."

    Jerry Davis and Anne Tsui will share their experiences building the RRBM network, a global grassroots movement led by 24 senior scholars aiming to change the ecosystem of business research to be more useful to society.

    They'll focus on concrete actions and projects initiated along the way to catalyze key stakeholders -- journal editors, academic association leaders, deans and vice deans, senior scholars, and accreditation agency leaders -- to take small but meaningful actions as part of a broader ecosystem change.

    They'll report some small wins and lessons they have learned so far from attempting to change an entrenched and deeply engrained research ecosystem that has dominated business research practices in the past two plus decades.

    The HIBAR Research Alliance brings together contributors who share the vision of an improved research and innovation ecosystem that better contributes to solving society's critical problems. The Alliance's efforts focus on projects that are partnerships of academic researchers and societal experts across a wide variety of fields.

    If you are interested in transforming the research ecosystem, please pre-register for this free event. Details: https://hibar-research.org/an-institutional-change-project-the-experience-of-rrbm/

    Hope to see you there!
