“…Nevertheless, we Despite these shortcomings, the results of our study in a global setting offer greater external validity than previous studies by taking advantage of a large global sample. Previous studies explaining the research performance of business scholars relied on survey data, which is confined to a single discipline or a few countries (Eisend and Schmidt, 2014;Judge et al, 2007;Mingers and Xu, 2010;Ryazanova et al, 2017). The sample and variables employed to examine our hypotheses are valid, and our findings are robust, as we tested the same empirical specifications using different estimation methods (random effects and population average for the negative binomial model) and different windows (three and five years).…”

“…Our final recommendation is to seek mentorship from senior researchers in the region who can provide valuable advice on how to navigate the region and leverage its advantages. Moschieri & Santalo, 2018) and business school rankings, these universities are among the highest ranked in the region (Ryazanova, McNamara, & Aguinis, 2017). In some of these more research-oriented universities, after faculty members become full professors, they can renegotiate their teaching load and have the option to become chaired professors with more resources and influence over academic decisions.…”

We make the case that conditions and timing are right and, despite some challenges, there are many benefits to conducting management research in Latin America. Some of these conditions include an upward trend in the productivity of Latin American researchers, increased collaboration between researchers in Latin America and those in other regions, and societal, cultural, and economic characteristics that make the region an ideal “natural laboratory” to build and test management theories. Demonstrating that our arguments are not just about potential but are founded in reality, we offer a selective summary of recent research conducted in Latin America that made important contributions to micro and macro management domains and theories. These include (a) leadership; (b) small and family businesses; (c) entrepreneurship; (d) social inclusiveness, inequity, and vulnerable populations; (e) strategy and competitive dynamics in natural resource industries; (f) strategy in unstable macroeconomic contexts; (g) public (industrial) policies and business development; (h) hybrid public-private collaborations; and (i) social enterprises and blended social and economic value creation. We also describe opportunities for future research in these domains. Finally, we offer practical and actionable advice on how to address typical challenges encountered when conducting management research in Latin America. Solutions apply to those residing inside and outside of Latin America and include, among others, identifying universities with a research-oriented career path, recognizing credible university rankings and their impact, and capitalizing on local contexts to generate high-quality research. We hope our article will serve as a catalyst for future management research in Latin America.

“…Looking at the initial conditions that enable international mobility, we explore visibility of doctoral origin and earlycareer research productivity as key potential drivers of one's ability to move abroad. Visibility of doctoral origin was measured as the research visibility of the PhD institution, using the weighted volume of research metric provided by the Global Research Performance Database (Ryazanova, McNamara, & Aguinis, 2017). This metric captures publications in the period 2007-2015 and weights these by the 5year impact factor of the journals where each paper was published.…”

“…In the industry landscape of Italian business education, Bocconi University significantly exceeds all other institutions both in terms of the volume and visibility of its research output. For example, its closest competitor, University of Bologna, published 162 papers and 467 units of visibility-adjusted volume in the period 2007-2015, compared to Bocconi's 526 papers and 1711 units of visibility-adjusted volume in the same period (Ryazanova et al, 2017).…”

We focus on the role that domestic and international mobility play in achieving a business academic's career outcomes. We seek to advance existing research by taking a morenuanced approach to the study of mobility. Using a sample of 376 tenured faculty members from 20 highly research-visible European business schools in 10 countries, we explore different patterns of mobility and highlight their link to research-career capital and the speed of academic promotion. Our findings show that mobility has a positive impact on research-career capital, but multiple moves delay academic promotion. In making decisions about international mobility, it is important to know that moving internationally for one's first post-PhD job undermines research productivity. However, moving internationally between year 2 and year 7 post-PhD is better than moving later on. The ability to move between countries is deeply rooted in gender, with female faculty less likely to access international mobility. Female academics also take longer to be promoted to a tenured rank and to full professorship. Our findings have implications for academic researchers who consider domestic and international mobility, and for PhD supervisors whose duty it is to prepare their students for successful careers in academia. 186
