INNOVATION & RESEARCH FOR GROWTH |
ABS INNOVATION TASK FORCE SURVEY 2012
The Association of Business Schools has established an Innovation Task Force chaired by Prof. Richard Thorpe (Pro-Dean for Research, Leeds University Business School) and Richard Rawlinson (Partner, Booz & Company, London). The purpose of the ABS Task Force is to provide evidence of how UK business schools are supporting the Government’s agenda outlined in the BIS report 'Innovation and Research for Growth.' BIS defines innovation as: 'the development of new products, services and processes, which may be based on cutting edge research.'
We are interested in barriers to success, consulting on actions to be taken and establishing links with relevant policy bodies. Key themes are: student employability, enhanced realisation of technology, faculty capacity building to engage better with practice and a review of funding for business and management research post AIM to support world-class research. An interim report of key findings will be made at the ABS annual conference on Innovation for Growth, 15-16 October at Warwick University. An ABS summary of the BIS report is available on:
