Relevant Research Topics in Administrative Sciences: a View from the Analysis of Networks
Abstract
There is a great deal of criticism of the low relationship between the research processes and the business context in faculties, the management programs, and the poorly positioned business schools. This paper aims to determine relevant topics in administrative sciences by applying the analysis of networks to identify the institutions that handle recurrent topics, those that address specialized topics, and the territories that include research in the administrative field. The study identified the best worldwide and nationwide faculties, management programs, and business schools. We built a relational model of the interactions between institutions and topics using the network theory from this selection. This type of analysis was implemented since it allows a systematic review, and the results become inputs that contribute to subsequent decision-making by institutions involved in this field. We identified the Columbia Business School, INSEAD Business School, Cornell Business College, Harvard Business School, and, finally, the SLOAN School of Management of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as notable institutional nodes. Finally, the relevant thematic nodes were identified: related to finance, entrepreneurship, globalization, and leadership.
