Responsible Research in Business & Management (RRBM)
Visit Website →RRBM advocates for research that produces credible knowledge with tangible societal impact, challenging incentive systems that prioritise publication metrics over relevance. GRLI's role has been connective and catalytic: endorsing RRBM's principles, amplifying them through GRLI's leadership networks, and supporting deans and directors to translate the 'impact' agenda into institutional commitments and practice. The initiative has contributed to a shift in how business schools discuss research legitimacy—bringing questions of purpose, credibility, and public value into the foreground of faculty and governance conversations.
