The 1996 Research Assessment Exercise for Business and Management
描述了1996年英国商业与管理学科研究评估实践的过程，分析了同行评议的优势和待解决问题，并基于对英国管理研究的全面了解提出未来研究方向。
A substantial component of government funding for university research in the UK is now based upon an evaluation of the quality of research being conducted in each university, on a subject by subject basis. This paper describes the processes involved in the 1996 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) for business and management studies. It is argued that the strength of the current process lies in the peer review of the quality of research outputs. In addition, some of the issues needing to be resolved in undertaking such an exercise are described and evaluated. Finally, based on the authors' exposure to the full range of management research currently being conducted in the UK, some suggestions are made regarding future research directions.
