The transformation of research culture in business and management schools: collaboration platforms and the co-design of research and innovation

Katy Mason and Jan Bebbington

Chapter 12 in How to Scale Engagement and Impact in Universities, 2025, pp 125-141 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Global environmental change is undermining the basis for stable and resilient economies and societies, thereby increasing the demands on universities and researchers to make research impactful. Universities and learned societies are having to rethink how they develop, deliver, and service engaged and collaborative research with external stakeholders and research users (MacIntosh et al., 2021). Many are doing this by creating new kinds of collaboration platforms to support researchers in their work. In this chapter, we first consider the need for new forms of collaboration platform, and their power to transform research cultures in business and management schools. Next, we look at some of the different platforms that are emerging and explore the role of co-design methodologies and practices in supporting those engagements. Finally, we consider the implications of these platforms to scale collaboration and through this the value that research can generate for our society and planet, in the age of the Anthropocene.
