Welcome to the British Academy of Management’s Annual Report for 2013. This year membership continued to grow and initiatives undertaken include the initiation of the small grant scheme and a restructuring of the executive following the governance review. This report provides the opportunity to tell you about the plans made, activities undertaken, outputs achieved and aspirations for the future of the Academy.
The conference and doctoral symposium remain very strong with Liverpool attracting over 850 delegates. The conference also continued Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) which, having been introduced the previous year, were well received by the organisers and participants. New editorial teams have been appointed for our journals and we are grateful to the editors who have now finished their terms. SIGs have been very active and outside conference have organised many events and seminars.
The BAM Office team has continued to operate in a highly professional and efficient way and I am grateful to them, the executive and council and SIG chairs, amongst many volunteers, who work well beyond the call of duty to enhance the BAM community.
Nic Beech BAM Chair (2014)
Introduction

Review of the year
Review of the Year
03
So what was achieved? I promised and mentioned at the start of the year a governance review, developing more robust policies and procedures, information on Open Access and development of links with other Learned Societies and relevant organisations. Well I am pleased to say all of these have been achieved. The Governance review was ratified at the AGM in Liverpool in September and now BAM Executive has a president, Chair and 5 Vice chairs including the Treasurer. The four vice chairs each hold a portfolio of activity and will have Council members aligned to various portfolios to develop and implement relevant activity within each. As well as Capacity Building, Research and SiGs there is a VC for Learning and Teaching as BAM moves into this area supporting the teaching and
scholarship members of BAM. The bedding down of the new structure will take place in 2014 and will surely give opportunity for BAM to grow further.
The office has developed and implemented a number of policies and procedures to professionalise BAM. This has included ones on social media, ethics, membership and elections. This will make the policies more transparent. An Awards subcommittee was also set up which reviewed and implemented much clearer criteria and process for BAM Awards such as the Richard Whipp award. Considerably effort was made with the Dean of Fellows to review and strengthen the relationship with BAM Fellows.
As the outgoing Chair of BAM I must start this review with a number of Thank you’s. It has been a busy, fruitful and successful year which would not have been possible without the BAM office staff – Monika, Joe, Michael, Miriam, Khanisa and Rukshan – who have implemented, improved and innovated many new ideas and concepts for BAM and its members. Their loyalty and input to the success of BAM is critical and must be recognized. Also the Executive team – Jacky, Nic, Abby, Jim and Marie – were incredibly supportive, challenging and proactive in the developing of ideas throughout my term. Council members also played their part in ensuring implementation and dissemination of new practices and processes as well as the Fellows and the BAM membership through engagement in the SiGs and other BAM events. All these groups and communities have played a huge part in the continuing growth and recognition of BAM as a professional and recognised Learning Society. They allowed my time as Chair to be enjoyable and satisfying!
This included linking Fellows with SiGs, setting up regular meetings between Exec and Fellows and, holding a Fellows event at the annual conference.
A section on Open Access was set up on the BAM website which was updated and the accessed by members regularly. An audit of relevant external organisations relevant to BAM was undertaken and in 2014 there will be a prioritisation and strengthen of relationships with some societies. In the meantime we have re-joined IFSAM (International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management) which links business and management associations globally.
A major initiative of 2013 was the introduction of the ‘small grants scheme’ where members could submit a proposal for up to £4,000 for a small piece of research. We received 125 applications which was astounding – and the need to create an army of reviewers. We achieved double blind reviewing and will be funding around 10% of the applications. We look forward to this sustaining the scheme and interest into the future.
So all in all as I have said a busy and successful year – with the flag ship event of the BAM conference reaching nearly 1000 attendees with a fantastic dinner in Liverpool Cathedral. I take up the position
of Vice-President for its last year of existence and look forward to finishing off and starting some of the activities to strengthen BAM further and further.
Thank you again to all those who supported me and the lovely words of recognition I received throughout the year. I wish the new Chair (Nic Beech) all the best in his forthcoming term. I have no doubts he will ensure that BAM achieves even more than it did in 2013.
Professor Zoe Radnor BAM Vice President (2014)

BAM2013 Conference
05
I joined the University of Liverpool Management School in 2008 and in 2009 the School hosted two major conferences: EURAM (European academy of management) and ISBE (institute of small business and entrepreneurship). Subsequently, Liverpool staff have been responsible for two other major conferences: Tony Patterson and Steve Oakes organized the Academy of Marketing Conference in 2011 and Gary Cook hosted the Academy of International Business in 2012. I had been involved in the organization of ISBE and I was very keen to bring the BAM conference to Liverpool. After discussions with senior staff in the School we decided to make a bid for BAM 2013. I also discussed the practicalities of bringing the BAM conference to Liverpool with Hazel Kennedy from the Convention Bureau and she provided tremendous support in putting together our bid during the early part of 2011.
Together with Hazel I began to investigate potential venues and, unfortunately, Liverpool Conference Centre on Albert Dock was unavailable. The 2011 Academy of Marketing Conference had been held at Aintree Racecourse and had been a great success.
I visited Aintree and thought the facilities were first-class and that it would be a memorable venue for BAM 2013. My only concern was the course’s location about 6 miles from the main hotels in the city centre. I felt that we would have to use buses to transport delegates from the hotels to Aintree. I was eventually persuaded by the BAM office (thanks Joe!) that relying on buses was a terrible idea and the direct train service from city centre to Aintree was a much better option. With the cooperation of Merseyside Passenger Transport Authority the train link operated very smoothly and the journey was not a barrier to anyone’s enjoyment of the conference.
The EURAM conference dinner had been held in Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral and I was committed to BAM also using this stunning building. Once Monika and the team had visited the Cathedral they were equally convinced that this would be fantastic venue for our 2013 conference dinner. Finding a venue for the doctoral symposium was relatively straight-forward. Liverpool University’s Foresight Centre has excellent facilities and staff who are very experienced in dealing with external events. Locating a venue for the symposium dinner was much more problematic and together with Katie Neary I investigated a number of potential venues none of which were entirely suitable. Eventually, we settled on the Adelphi Hotel and this proved to be a great success with good food and excellent service.
06
I am writing this three weeks after the conference ended and I have been asked by a number of colleagues – how did it go? My answer has always been the same – ‘it’s very difficult to judge when you’re so closely involved’. However, I do think that the conference was a great success with approximately 850 delegates who participated in a wide-range of activities including an excellent keynote speech from Professor Roy Suddaby. There are a number of people from the University of Liverpool Management School who contributed to this success: Katie Neary, Mike Zundel and the doctoral students who helped pack the delegate bags and give directions at Aintree as well as Stephanie Readey who provided lots of essential resources for BAM2013. The conference received financial support from the Management School (Professor Murray Dalziel), the University of Liverpool (Professor, Sir Howard Newby), Liverpool Vision sponsored the conference dinner and CEO Max Steinberg introduced the 2014 International Festival of Business to the BAM delegates; the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Gary Millar welcomed guests to Liverpool at our opening event at Aintree. The guys in the BAM office, Monika, Joe, Khanisa and Rukshan, did a truly amazing job in organizing the event and ensured that everything ran smoothly during the whole of the conference.
I had a number of objectives in bringing BAM to Liverpool; first that it should match the excitement and vibrancy of BAM2012 which was held in Cardiff. Secondly, it would provide the opportunity for BAM delegates to visit Liverpool which is a unique city with an amazing cultural and architectural heritage. Thirdly, I thought that hosting BAM would raise the profile of ULMS and help ensure that we continue to attract the best possible scholars to the School. On a personal level, being involved with the organization of a successful BAM conference was enormously satisfying – and I feel that we were able to fulfil the conference theme of ‘managing to make a difference’. My advice to anyone pondering the wisdom of hosting BAM would be to go ahead – it is a great experience and you will have the opportunity to work with some extremely talented and committed people.
Professor Ossie Jones Conference Co-Chair (2013)
Training & Development 2013
07
An exciting series of Capacity Building workshops, seminars and events are planned for 2014. Key priorities include:
• Working 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.
• Supporting management researchers to build greater capacity for engaged and impactful management research.
• Providing doctoral students with high quality development workshops and the opportunity to engage with experienced researchers at the BAM Doctoral Symposium.
The Academy has continued to focus on researcher development and researcher networking in 2013. The Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building Sub - Committee supported events that focus on the development of the Management and Business research community, such as the workshop for Doctoral students on “Preparing your paper for submission to the BAM 2014 Conference”. A number of training and development workshops were also run in collaboration with Special Interest Groups.
BAM Fellows Report
08
Five new Fellows were elected last year and presented to the Liverpool conference: Professors Nic Beech (University of St Andrew), Rick Delbridge (Cardiff University), Marie McHugh (University of Ulster), Sharon Mavin (Northumbria University), and Sue Vinnicombe (Cranfield University). They are all very welcome and it was pleasing to see a small step towards gender balance in the Fellowship.
The plans outlined in last year’s report for increasing the involvement of Fellows at annual conference were successfully implemented at Liverpool and will be repeated in Belfast. These include putting on a session led by Fellows but open to all on a topic that taps into the longer-term experience of the Fellows; fostering links between Fellows and their relevant SIGs and attendance at that SIG at conference; and greater involvement of Fellows in the doctoral symposium. In addition the announcement and presentation of new Fellows is now made at conference by the Dean at the same time as the presentation of the Richard Whipp award.
At the Liverpool conference the Fellows’ session was led by Andrew Pettigrew and Arthur Francis, reviewing the work we had done in the 1980s on the ESRC Competitiveness of British Industry research programme and what research had since developed. There was an excellent turn-out of 27 Fellows at Liverpool.
In Belfast we plan a panel session at which Fellows will compare, contrast and collate their research and teaching over the long haul on management and leadership. There will be a separate Fellows’ meeting at which we will discuss the implications of the
two recent reports on management and leadership – those of the APPG Commission and of the ABS, CMI and QAA.
The Fellows met at the BAM offices for full day meetings in November and March. The Fellows meeting in November 2013 included a number of TED-style presentations by Fellows about their current work and concerns, and the meeting in March 2014 addressed the question of what BAM Fellows should submit to the All Party Parliamentary Group’s Commission on Management. The final submission can be found on the CMI website.
The Dean’s Group and the Nominations Committee met in July 2014 to plan the Fellows’ programme at the Belfast conference, to consider nominations for Fellowships and to give thought to nominations for national honours. A number of names have been put forward for the next two rounds of honours – the 2015 New Year’s and Queen’s birthday lists. In the meantime we congratulate BAM Fellows Cary Cooper and Sue Vinnicombe on their honours in this year’s Birthday list. Cary was knighted and Sue was awarded a CBE.
Arthur Francis Dean of Fellows College (2014)
Many thanks are due to Colin Eden, outgoing Dean of the College of BAM Fellows, for all his work last year in developing and systematising the organization of the Fellowship with a set schedule of meetings of the Fellows, the Dean’s Group and the Nominations Committee and a substantially increased involvement of Fellows in the work of BAM generally and at the Annual Conference particularly. At the completion of his calendar year as Dean, Colin was succeeded by Arthur Francis. Cathy Cassell became Deputy Dean and Keith Glaister was elected to the Dean’s Group.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
09
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 2013 were:
1. What is the Impact of Entrepreneurship Research Today? Perspectives and Thoughts of Entrepreneurship Scholars, Entrepreneurs, & Financiers
2. Identity in inter-organisational working
3. International Business and Management and Impact after the REF
4. Leadership and Leadership Development Doctoral Workshop
5. Shaping the International Business and Management Research Agenda
6. How can we advance teaching Strategy-as-Practice?
7. Critical Realism and Organisational Psychology
8. Theorizing Innovation Translation: the case of collaborative partnerships between universities and their surrounding NHS organisations
9. Women in Leadership - Breaking the Glass Ceiling
10. Looking at Corporate Governance and Leadership from an Organisational Perspective
11. 8th Annual Teaching Research Methods to Business and Management Students Workshop
12. Meeting the Strategic Challenges of the 21st Century
13. Sustainable & Responsible Business Developmental Paper Workshop
14. Strategic Visions and Future Business Models: Exploring Future Technology, Smartness, Creative Science Prototyping and Consumer Technological Landscapes
15. Interdisciplinary Workshop: Critical Perspectives on Neuroscience in Organisation Studies
SIGs also provide regular information about their activities for circulation to the broader BAM membership. They do this via e-mail, the BAM Newsletter and the BAM web site 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 maintain existing SIGs can be found in the BAM SIG Communities Handbook that is available at www.bam.ac.uk.
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.

BAM Journals during 2013
Along with the Annual Conference and the SIGs, BJM and IJMR are jewels in BAM’s crown. Despite the pressures for mimetic isomorphism, both journals have continued to maintain a distinctive intellectual identity under the editorship of their new teams, Pawan Budhwar and Geoff Wood (BJM) and Ossie Clark and Caroline Gatrell (IJMR, although Ossie was in post already). BJM is a British general management journal with an international reputation; whereas IJMR is in unique in business and management journals for its commitment to the concept of a ‘review’ journal.
BAM maintains good working relationships with Anna O’Brien and Rebecca Forsythe at Wiley; and the publisher continues to respond to the challenges of Open Access publishing by seeking avenues to provided added value. Of note among these is increasingly sophisticated market analysis and citation data; and the new BJM/IJMR app, currently available for Apple users, and soon too for Androids. We are also particularly grateful to Emma Missen, our Managing Editor.
BJM and IJMR are available in 3,702 institutions worldwide through Wiley commercial subscriptions; but also in 5,217 institutions in the developing world via philanthropic initiatives. There were over 300 000 full text downloads for BJM, and over 268 000 for IJMR. An interesting factoid is that full text downloads from China increased by 29% in the year for IBJM, and 23% for IJMR. Other metrics such as impact factors are available on the journal web-pages. Here I will note that the top three downloaded articles for BJM in 2013 across all years were:
1. S Eisenbeiß . & S. Boerner, A Double-edged Sword: Transformational Leadership. Published in Volume, 24 number (1) 1: 4085 downloads.
2. M. Aasland, M. et al., The Prevalence of Destructive Leadership Behaviour. 21, (2): 3564 downloads.
3. M. Kavanagh, M. & N.Ashkanasy, The Impact of Leadership and Change Management. 17, (1): 3329 downloads.
The equivalent top three for IJMR are:
1. A.B.Carroll & K. M. Shabana, The Business Case for Corporate Social Responsibility: A Review of Concepts, Research and Practice. 12 (): 14,248 downloads.
2. A. Lindgreen & V. Swaen, Corporate Social Responsibility. (12) 1: 13,203 downloads.
3. D.W.S. Renwick, T. Redman & S., Maguire Green Human Resource Management: A Review and Research Agenda. 15 (1) 6,458 downloads.
These articles deserve naming for the interest they have attracted, and it is of note that the metrics affirm IJHRM does a special job as a review journal. But I name them, too, to make the point that the purpose of journal publishing is not the production of metrics, but the sharing of peer-reviewed scholarly work. These article titles give some qualitative sense of that work. These six are representative of the huge amount of work that goes on in the preparation of submissions to the journals, whether they are accepted or not, by our colleagues; and the ‘invisible’ work by reviewers, editorial board members, associate editors, and editors. As a community, we are grateful; and indeed it is this work that goes to making us a community.

The surplus for the year reduced to £45,543 from £101,028.
2013 was another successful year for our annual conference with an 8% increase in conference income, other notable income gains were noted in members’ subscriptions and journal publishing income. These three sources of income are the principal funding sources of the Charity. All expenditure throughout the year is in support of these sources and other, less prominent sources of income.
The Academy’s reserves now stand at £540,642 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.
We made an exceptional payment of £26,460 which was due to an ESRC claw-back of a grant received from the ESRC in the period
2008 to 2010 that was not fully utilised due to changes in the community’s behaviour in the aftermath of the international financial crisis.
There is a small amendment to our accounting treatment of the DPDOR programme, where all income and expenses of the 2013 programme are deferred to 2014 because of changes to the timetabling of this programme. The effect of this is to move approximately £7000-£8000 of surplus in to 2014.
We are also delighted to be in a position to substantially increase the financial support for BAM’s Research Development Grants Scheme announced in 2013 with approximately £47000 of grants awarded in January 2014 to 13 peer reviewed research projects. This is something we intend to enhance by widening the scope of the grants in 2014
