Abstract

Research in Management Learning and Education (RMLE) has experienced considerable growth over the past decade and its legitimacy has been extensively explored (e.g., Arbaugh, 2008;; Armstrong & Fukami, 2009; Beatty & Leigh, 2010; Currie & Pandher, 2013; Gallos, 2008; Rynes & Brown, 2011; Schmidt-Wilk & Fukami, 2010). Within the broader field of business and management education (BME), the most cited research is heavily weighted toward the management discipline (Arbaugh, 2008; Arbaugh & Hwang, 2015; Burke & Moore, 2003). However, despite RMLE’s high article citation and journal influence (Arbaugh, Fornaciari & Hwang, 2016; Arbaugh & Hwang, 2015; Currie & Pandher, 2013), management still lags behind other BME disciplinary areas in efforts to identify key institutions, authors and topics.
