ALSB Partners with RRBM

/in /by

The ALSB Executive Committee has voted to join as an institutional partner the Responsible Research in Business and Management group. [ cf. website at https://www.rrbm.network/] As its webpage notes:

“Responsible Research for Business and Management (RRBM) is dedicated to inspiring, encouraging, and supporting credible and useful research in the business and management disciplines.

It is a virtual organization initially developed by a group of 24 leading scholars in 5 disciplines at 23 university-based business schools in 10 countries and now joined by a much larger community. We have support from many partners, including AACSB, EFMD, PRME, Aspen Institute‘s Business and Society Program, GRLI, and many business schools worldwide.”

RRBM’s seven principles are as follows and dovetail nicely with the ALSB’s mission and values statement:

Principles

  1. Service to Society
  2. Valuing Both Basic and Applied Contributions
  3. Valuing Plurality and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
  4. Sound Methodology
  5. Stakeholder Involvement
  6. Impact on Stakeholders
  7. Broad Dissemination
