ARC: Connections: ELMAR: Posting

---

Dear colleagues,

A recent JM paper has demonstrated that academic research actually helps MBA-programs (Mitra and Golder 2008). This calls for appropriate incentives for academic researchers. In light of that, the I am currently collecting information on incentive-schemes for publications implemented by business schools. Does your school incentivize publication? If so: how? I am most interested in the following:

• How does the scheme work? (a bonus or an increase of the base salary?)
• How high are the incentives? (Dollar amount per publication based on quality of journal?)
• Who gets the bonus? (first author only, split between co-authors? How?)
• Which journal ranking is used?
• Is other research output also incentivized? (grand money, books, knowledge transfer, etc.?)

I would be grateful if you would share your positive and negative experiences with us. You may email me directly (evanschitzky@strath.ac.uk) or post your answers on ELMAR.

Thank you very much for your help!

Heiner
