An examination of the role of research in business. The authors argue that scholars producing research in business fields are subject to stricter research standards due to the fact that they must produce work that is both rigorous and relevant and that this is why business research is so important. They suggest that researchers in disciplinary fields are not held to the same standards of relevance, requiring them to produce work based on real-world problems, that business academics are.
