Business Schools can be overlooked in terms of driving knowledge exchange and impact. In 2023, the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS) found that “the KEF in its current format is likely to understate much of the KE work being undertaken in business schools (…) the HESA-BCI dataset does not provide data at faculty level, and it is felt that some KEF metrics may result in a bias towards STEM subjects. We believe it is crucial that the nature and impact of business schools’ KE activities is recognised.”
CABS then funded Northumbria University and Manchester Metropolitan University Business School to undertake a piece of exploratory research into the nature and direction of knowledge exchange in UK Business Schools.
This KE Matters session will take a deep dive into the results from literature, interviews and academic and stakeholder roundtables to offer a hopeful vision of the future.
