Management Publication of the Year 2024

This category will celebrate research that sets out to positively impact people and planet. Increased understanding of equality, diversity, inclusion and respect as an approach to leadership, business and management in all sectors, how it is helping our society reflect on the type of world we want to live in, our collective values, and new ways of generating and distributing wealth to ensure the wellbeing of people and our planet.

At the same time, the work nominated in this category will further our understanding of a greener economy, our transition therein, and the leadership and management of this fast-changing, evolving piece of the wider economy. We want to celebrate the best of research that takes people and planet into account, and maps innovative steps towards positive change.

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) often struggle to access the resources, expertise and knowledge they need to achieve the growth they imagine. This category celebrates research that seeks to address these challenges and aims to transform practice by presenting insights to positively impact a green growth economy that includes SMEs.

Not all business or organisational activity is directed towards profit and maximised return. This category will celebrate research into social enterprise and innovation, looking at research into communities and their organisation, not-for-profit, third sector organisations, and social enterprise research that reveals the problems they face and valuable insights into the process, practices and possibilities for positive collective action.
