The Research–Teaching Gap in Management

Although other authors have recently spotlighted the research–practice gap in management, we suggest the role of teaching in eliminating this fissure has been neglected. We examine the research–teaching gap in management by exploring how research can inform our teaching and how teaching can enlighten our research. We also advance practical implications for addressing the research–teaching gap in our field. Ultimately, we believe a tighter link between research and teaching is critical to enhancing student learning about the value of research and to giving them—our future managers—the skills they will need to be lifelong consumers of management research.
