Dear colleague,
This is not the first annual report of the Institute for Management Research, but it is the first in a new format: easy to read and accessible to all. It shows that the IMR is making progress in many ways. The quality of publications is going up, as are the number of research applications and the number of successful defenses of dissertations. The IMR Doctoral School and the IMR Academy have become established parts of the IMR. And progress is made in building the IMR as an organisation. Challenges are ahead, particularly in view of the upcoming evaluation in 2019, to acquire and manage the resources needed to flourish as a research institute with a solid research profile. We look forward to taking on these challenges, together with the researchers of the IMR.
Prof. Sandra van Thiel
Director of the Institute for Management Research
