“…Although the paradigm shift to publish and prosper is already percolating [65,66], it does not yet have critical mass to engender the tipping point of wide-scale system change. To start, business schools and faculty must recognize the critical role they play in a much larger ecosystem.…”

“…In the first column of Table 1, "publish or perish" [64] epitomizes the basic orientation of academic research where publishing is the lifeblood of individual faculty livelihoods and the foundation of knowledge produced by higher education. In the second column, "publish and prosper" liberates publishing as a source of diverse and innovative faculty expression, serving the real needs of people and planet to sustainably thrive in the Anthropocene [65].…”

This paper introduces a transformative systems-level framework for understanding the interplay of institutional, cultural, and systemic dynamics influencing the societal impacts of academic research. We introduce and apply the Societal Impacts of Research Institutional Ecosystem (SIRIE) framework to business school scholarship and academic research in higher education. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as SIRIE’s normative ethical framework to benchmark: institutional mission; accreditation bodies’ compliance requirements; faculty tenure and promotion research expectations; the influence of rankings and ratings; and journal quality metrics. Our framework acknowledges the role the Anthropocene Epoch plays in contributing to contemporary social and environmental problems. We argue that recalcitrant institutional forces in academia neutralize the promise of academic scholarship to galvanize meaningful societal impacts. We assert that the contemporary state of higher education research is unfortunately dominated by a “publish or perish” mentality. This narrative produces academic research that is decontextualized from today’s exigent “grand challenges” related to poverty, climate, equity, health, peace, environment, etc., as well as transformative solutions for a sustainable future. By exploring an alternative paradigm for academic research through SIRIE and the SDGs—“publish and prosper”—we detail how academic research can meaningfully contribute to change the world for the better.
