这篇系统文献综述整合了关于商学院关联性与影响力的零散知识，基于266篇文章提出整体框架，强调研究、教育与利益相关者价值共创，为未来研究指明方向。
Abstract The degree to which business schools are relevant and impactful for society has been disputed. Critics that engage in the so‐called ‘relevance problem’ have argued that business schools are preoccupied with academic rigour at the expense of practical relevance, resulting in a lack of societal impact. This systematic literature review synthesizes the fragmented body of knowledge pertaining to the relevance and impact of business schools. Appreciating the contributions of both research and education, this review offers a holistic view that acknowledges the multidimensional nature of business schools. Based on an analysis of 266 journal articles, we present the four main literature streams in this domain. We find limited evidence of cross‐fertilisation between discussions of research and education. However, by acknowledging the contribution of applying a multidimensional lens to the study of business schools, we develop a holistic thematic framework that provides theoretical directions for the future. Using this, we demonstrate four avenues for advancing the business school literature. First, we emphasise the potential of an institutional logics perspective to viewing business schools. Second, we offer a novel proposal for understanding the bridge between research and education. Third, we emphasise the application of a value co‐creation theoretical lens when considering how business schools engage with stakeholders in research and education. Finally, we propose an all‐encompassing stakeholder‐centric definition of relevant and impactful knowledge and advocate for this inclusive definition to conceptually bridge the fragmented discussions of research and education.
