在全球范围内，人们越来越多地以社会和经济影响来评判大学。英国的一项重要举措是2014年卓越研究框架（REF），该框架评估了大学研究的更广泛影响。为REF 2014制作的影响案例研究为探索商业与管理（B&M）研究的更广泛影响提供了丰富的新信息来源。本文对194个结构化样本中的每个B&M案例研究进行了阅读和分析。详细的研究结果显示了子学科之间在展示影响方面的显著差异，并说明了为什么一些研究能够吸引更广泛的受众。研究结果表明，模式2知识生产水平相对较低，但与跨学科研究用户的接触水平和类型广泛。这些发现的含义是关于建立一个关于知识生产模式的更细致的理论以及与政策和学术实践有关的讨论。
Universities, across the globe, are increasingly judged on social and economic impact. An important initiative in the UK is the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, which assessed the wider impact of university research. The Impact Case Studies, produced for REF 2014, provide a rich new source of information to explore the wider impact of Business and Management (B&M) research. Each B&M case study, from a structured sample of 194, was read and analysed for this paper. The detailed findings show significant differences between sub-disciplines in demonstrating impact and illustrate why some research reaches a wider audience. The findings show a relatively low level of Mode 2 knowledge production, but a wide range of levels and types of engagement with research users across disciplines. The implications of the findings are discussed in relation to building a more nuanced theory on modes of knowledge production and in relation to policy and academic practice.
