Introduction Welcome to the annual review of the British Academy of Management for 2014, a year that combined significant change, continuity and some retracing of footsteps. As I sign off after over 15 years on BAM Council and revert to being just an ordinary BAM member, I can't resist adding a few reflections to this introduction. The impetus for change was the enactment of the governance principles approved at the 2013 AGM, as the four new vice-chairs took up their roles and incoming Chair and President were elected for 2015. As the last of the 'five year sentence' executive members, I believe the focus of the new portfolios was already driving more effective decision-making by the year-end and will strengthen BAM's strategic direction considerably. Areas poised for development in 2015 included greater influence in research policy debates, a clear agenda for management knowledge and education, and fresh approaches to UK and international partnerships.

The new VC portfolios gave Joe, Khanisa, Michael and Rukshan clearer remits too, with Monika's effective leadership ensuring the office team pulled together to give excellent support to our members, SIGs and partners. It is a compliment to BAM that by the time of writing these reflections, Monika and Michael now head up a new team as Joe and Khanisa have gained promotions in bigger organisations.

Continuity was exemplified by growing membership especially PhD students, new SIGs, more candidates for our Council elections, and healthy conference participation. Although we retraced our footsteps to Belfast for BAM2014, the need to expand into the rather noisy St George's Market is a testament to the level of growth since Belfast last welcomed us in 2006.

Another example of the upward spiral of BAM's development is the election of Cary Cooper as the first 'new model' President - back to the future! Cary was one of the BAM Council members who welcomed new ESRC Teaching Fellows like me into the BAM community over 20 years ago and I hope he will be pleased to see what many of my contemporaries have achieved in their academic and BAM careers.

Before I hand over to my fellow BAM officers to complete this Annual Review, I would like to take the opportunity to look back a bit further, as late 2014 and early 2015 saw the sad passing of two highly influential BAM colleagues. For over two decades Derek Pugh, who died on 29 January, was at the heart of our doctoral training programmes - among the many contributions leading to his Richard Whipp Lifetime Achievement Award. Derek was a true friend to us all. And when Andrew Thomson, who died on Boxing Day, roped in me and another late OU colleague Geoff Mallory to help run the 1993 BAM conference, with Cranfield's Gerry Johnson, David Tranfield and David Denyer, who would have guessed how deeply involved in BAM Geoff, David D. and I would become! The spirit of these founding fathers of management scholarship lives on in their protégés who remain actively involved in running BAM and shaping its developmental activities today.

Jacky Holloway BAM President (2014)

Review of the year The year of 2014 was one of exciting activities for BAM. The Vice Chairs were highly effective in focusing efforts into our priority areas of supporting SIGs, Capacity Building, Research and Publications and Management Knowledge and Education which has helped BAM develop and expand. The BAM Office team has continued to operate in a highly professional and efficient way and I am grateful to them, the Executive, Council and SIG Chairs, amongst many volunteers, who work well beyond the call of duty to enhance the BAM community.

A few facts and figures for the last year:

Number of members: 1800Attendees at the Belfast Conference: 800Number of SIG events: over 30Both BJM and IJMR are consistently well – ranked by ISI, with 2013 impact factors of 1.909 and 2.673 respectively.

The 2014 conference in Belfast saw many academics coming together from around the world to participate in a fruitful and invigorating discussion under the timely theme of pluralism. In addition to the quality of the papers and discussions, a social highlight of the experience was a fabulous dinner at the Belfast Titanic Museum. I would like to thank Karise Hutchinson, Marie McHugh and Zoe Radnor who put a great deal of work into the conference in Belfast which has received very positive feedback. Our international conference with representatives of 48 countries, along with the success of our two prestigious journals continue be the jewels in BAM’s crown.

BAM continued to reward and recognise its members in 2014 for outstanding contribution to the academic field with presentations of the Richard Whipp Lifetime Achievement Award at conference to Richard Thorpe and the Tony Beasley award given to Rob Worrall at the Doctoral Symposium.

Professor Nic Beech BAM Chair (2014)

Jacky Holloway (President) and Zoe Radnor (Vice President) completed their terms of office at the end of 2014 and we all owe them a considerable debt of gratitude. They have been stalwart members of BAM Council and Executive for many years and have been conscientious servants of the society. Jacky’s ongoing work on the constitution since the end of her formal office is just one more indication of her enduring contribution. Bill Lee (Vice Chair of SIGs) has also completed his term at the end of 2014. His advocacy of transparency and openness in operations process will stand the society in good stead for years to come. Similarly, Arthur Francis has completed his term as Dean of Fellows and has had a very positive influence on the debates and contributions fellows have been making. Our thanks are also due to Gareth Edwards and Jeremy Clegg for their services on the Council.

The new arrangement of Subcommittees is working well and we have an increase in the number of capacity building events and allocation of grants for research and MKE. Other advances include: the operation and remit of SIGs being clarified and strengthened; innovations in the area of Management Knowledge and Education (MKE); focused development in capacity building and a successful conference; renewed engagement with the funding councils and bodies and the running of the Transitions Research Grants Scheme. Also, closer relationships with the BAM Fellows have played a part in the continued strength and recognition of BAM as a learned society.

The SIGs continue to expand and continue to be the core of BAM. Thank-you to all SIG chairs for running and supporting numerous events for the benefit of our members. SIGs continue to provide a great opportunity to group like-minded individuals and provide a close-knit support network within our ever-growing community.

In the next year we aim to: supplement our Transitions Grants Scheme with an international angle, following discussions with ANZAM; continue to develop capacity building activities for members across the ‘stages’ of academic careers; further develop small grants and other activities in the MKE area; continue to support SIGs and develop external relations with funding bodies, practitioner organisations and policy makers, and a new focus on growth of membership through SIGs and workshops open to practitioners and members of other learned societies. We also have a focus on doctoral students – both PhDs and DBAs and will be exploring innovations in this area. Lastly, we continue to build relationships with professional and vocational bodies in our area and we aspire to launching new engaged research ventures with them in the near future.

BAM2014 Conference

It’s hard to believe it is that time again, the annual BAM conference in a new location with a new theme. Time does certainly fly. Looking back to the conference in Belfast last year, I was delighted with the warm welcome the Ulster University Business School and the city of Belfast gave to visitors across the world, with a record number of delegates in attendance. Of course, this was not the first time BAM was hosted in Belfast with the last conference in 2006. But, the 28th annual conference in Belfast was certainly one marked with a difference in terms of theme and activities. It was a privilege for the Ulster University Business School this time to host the conference and facilitate active discussion and debate around the social and economic impact of business school research, teaching and practice. In the face of austerity and increasing public sector budget cuts across UK, this was indeed a timely theme.

To open the conference, instead of a keynote, we had an interactive panel debate chaired by Sir George Bain, with involvement from the Vice Chancellor of Ulster University, Sir Richard Barnett, Ian Coulter, Senior Partner at Tughans and Vice-Chair of CBI, Professor Nigel Nicholson London Business School, and representation from the NI Executive. All of which attracted significant media attention for BAM both in terms of television, radio and press coverage. The social highlight of the conference was, I think, dinner at the Titanic addressed by the Minister for Education (Dr Stephen Farry) and marked by the beautiful Irish dancing of the Londonderry/Derry Tattoo (not to mention the queue to get a photo on the famous replica staircase of the Titanic!).

Page 7: British Academy of Management Annual Review 2014 › sites › bam.ac.uk › files › AnnualReview2014 … · Another example of the upward spiral of BAM's development is the election

We had significant financial support from Visit Belfast, who I would like to personally thank for their support in organising and coordinating the venues, accommodation and tourist advice for conference delegates. I would also like to specifically note the contribution of the Ulster University Business School who sponsored the doctoral symposium dinner and the team of admin, academic and technical staff and PhD students, who worked tirelessly to ensure support for the BAM office team. As in previous years, this conference would not happen without the solid support and drive of the BAM office under the leadership of Monika. The flights and logistics involved in hosting the conference ‘across the water’, added an ‘interesting’ dimension to event management. But no matter the challenge, the determination and professionalism of the BAM office team made my job as co-chair a pleasure.

So, the baton has been passed to the University of Portsmouth and I look forward to taking part in another successful annual BAM conference.

Karise Hutchinson Conference Co-Chair (2014)

Special Thanks BAM would like to extend a special thanks to Visit Belfast for their financial support for BAM2014. Their generous sponsorship is greatly appreciated, without which the conference could not have been such a success this year.

Training & Development 2014 The Academy has continued to focus on researcher development and researcher networking in 2014. The Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building Sub-Committee supported many events in 2014 which focused on the development of the Management and Business research community. Work was undertaken with Special Interest Groups to organise and provide training in research methodology and advanced methods, delivering professional development and networking events addressing all career levels. The BAM2014 Doctoral Symposium provided doctoral students with high quality development workshops and the opportunity to engage with experienced researchers.

The Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building Sub-Committee aim to engage all career levels through providing a range of opportunities for BAM members in 2015. Planned events for 2015:

1. Preparing your paper for submission to the BAM2015 Conference2. Academic Writing with Professor Rowena Murray3. British Academy of Management DBA Symposium4. Development Programme for Directors of Research5. BAM2015 Professional Development Workshop6. Embedding and Leveraging Wider Impact into your Research

BAM Fellows Report

The Fellows have had a busy year with a range of different meetings and activities taking place. Many thanks are due to Arthur Francis for all his work as Dean of the Fellows College during the last year, and also to Colin Eden who retired from his role in the Dean’s Group. Catherine Cassell took over as Dean from Arthur, Keith Glaister became Deputy Dean and Ken Starkey was elected to join the Dean’s Group.

Three new Fellows elected last year: Professor Feng Li, Professor Roderick Martin and Professor Mark Saunders. They were welcomed to the College at the annual conference in Belfast. The Belfast conference provided an excellent forum for Fellows conversation.

The Fellows-led session on the question of leadership saw contributions from, Jean Hartley, Gerry Johnson, Sharon Mavin, Nigel Nicholson and Sue Vinnicombe. A lively debate about the nature and future prospects for leadership ensued. Numerous Fellows also had a role in the doctoral conference in terms of running sessions and contributing to research conversations. The closer alignment of Fellows with SIGs also meant that they attended many of the SIG AGMs.

Catherine Cassell Dean of Fellows College (2015)

This year saw the sad news of the passing of two esteemed members of the college: Professor Andrew Thomson and Professor Derek Pugh. As part of our discussions in the spring, a proposal has been made for a Fellows memorial prize to recognise the contribution to the Academy of these esteemed colleagues and others.

The Fellows met at the BAM offices for full day meetings in November and March. In November we discussed a range of issues about the future of management education. At the March meeting, as well as the usual business items, we discussed feedback from the Business and Management REF panel; some additional ways in which the Fellows could make a contribution to the development of BAM; and the prospects for what was then, the forthcoming election.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are part of a framework of communities that also includes networks and conference tracks underpin the intellectual development of BAM and allows BAM to foster support for emerging areas of research. Each community represents an academic area that is relevant to BAM and its research aims.

The communities take the lead in managing the academic programme at the annual BAM conference through organising the tracks, participating in the Doctoral Symposium and holding specialist meetings. During the year, individual SIGs host separate seminars and events to provide an academic forum for the discussion on relevant topics and a valuable source of mutual support. Some of the SIG events held in 2014 were:

SIGs also provide regular information about their activities for circulation to the broader BAM Membership. They do this via email, the BAM newsletter and the BAM website, of which each SIG has its own section. Some have disseminated the outputs of SIG related research in special issues of peer reviewed journals and other publications. This helps to reach a wider audience, especially those at the beginning of their academic careers, thus promoting BAM more extensively. As a BAM member you can join any of the SIGs and networks. By doing so, you gain access to a unique set of communities. SIGs enable you to connect, collaborate and communicate with your colleagues in a highly effective manner with leading edge thinking, research and teaching in your discipline. This can present opportunities to cultivate collaborative research links and help to develop research and teaching interests. Further details about how to set up a track, network or new SIG and to maintaining existing SIG can be found in the BAM SIG Communities Handbook that is available at www.bam.ac.uk.

TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

The surplus for the year reduced to £27,757 from £45,453; this was a direct result of the new policy of grant funding research activities to the tune of £44,404. Given current income streams I am confident this policy of grant funding can be replicated in the future from on-going sources without resort to historical reserves.

The Academy’s main sources of income continue to be members’ subscriptions, journal publishing income and income from the annual conference.

The Academy’s reserves now stand at £567,399 and are close to the amount required by the reserves policy of covering a year’s outgoings. Over the coming year we shall be continuing to actively review our reserves policy and working to ensure that we utilise available funds as far as possible to fund the broad objectives of the Academy. The financial position of the Charity is very sound.
