Nurturing the Field of Management Learning and Education Research. In 2017 Research in Management Learning and Education (RMLE) UNCONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS.

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.3 pagesen-USManagementeducation and learningbusiness managementbusinessText
