abstract

  • AbstractCouched within a theory of business, I explore what makes business scholarship influential and examine aspects that make a paper interesting to its audience. I present a framework that combines several attributes of influential scholarship and a model for interesting research. I provide examples of interesting scholarship and theorize as to why they are interesting and why they might be influential. I conclude with suggestions for what individuals and institutions can do to promote and sustain influential scholarship. Copyright © 2016 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
