Resolving the Crisis in Research by Changing the Game

‘Huse makes an original, convincing contribution that not only gets to the heart of the problem with the current publish or perish culture driving academic research but he also proposes a bold, innovative ecosystem that can free us to engage in research that matters. It is a must read for all of us who want to move beyond complaining about the problem to being part of the solution.’ –Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa

‘A very personal and engaging book, from an engaged scholar who speaks and writes from the bottom of his heart. A beautiful metaphor starring boats, lighthouses, tugboats and good wine. This is about academic communities, institutions, individuals, stakeholders, rules of the game, and even more so about sharing, openness, training, mentoring, contributing, having an impact, doing good. A very special and valuable contribution to rethink and redesign the ecosystems and practices of conducting research. A well-documented, well-articulated piece. A wealth of experiences so warmly put together.’ –Thomas Durand, Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, France and President, European Academy of Management

‘What a wonderful, timely and profound book. And what a thoughtful and eye-opening perspective on contemporary movements in scholarly research internationally it provides. And what inspiration the book gives for how research can provide much wider and truer scholarship than it does now. This book provides a wonderful capstone on Morten Huse’s career, one that truly embodies the sharing philosophy he introduces, explains, and invites scholars to join.’ –Jean M. Bartunek, Boston College, US
