Improving the Practice of Management

The Advanced Institute of Management (AIM) Research has announced that Dr Zoe Radnor, senior lecturer in the Operations Management Group at WBS, has been appointed as one of seven new AIM Fellows to work on improving management practice.

With funding provided by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the new AIM Fellows will be joining the existing cohorts researching productivity, innovation and services.
Research on management practices is at the core of AIM's objectives. In its second phase AIM is highly focused on increasing the impact of management research on practice. As AIM's Deputy Director, Professor Andy Neely says 'in these times of severe economic challenge it is even more important that we develop and apply our understanding of the most effective and efficient practices in management and leadership'.
Director of AIM, Professor Robin Wensley, comments, 'I am delighted to welcome the new cohort of mid‐career researchers to their AIM Fellowships. They are an outstanding group who I am sure will undertake individually and collectively excellent management research which will have a major impact on both policy and practice'
