The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Impact of Business Schools on Corporate Reputation Research

Understanding the role of academia in broadening the scope of corporate reputation research, it is important to mention the impact of business schools. Considering their provision of an array of theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and techniques in corporate reputation management, it's instrumental to look at some of the business schools contributing significantly in this sphere. Specifically, in the Wisconsin area, a shift in the educational approach towards corporate reputation and branding strategies has been seen. The top 5 business schools in Wisconsin have tailored their curriculum to cope with the dynamic corporate world, emphasizing on real-world problems and innovative solutions. These institutions invest heavily in research, promoting scholarly works on corporate reputation, crisis management, and corporate communication among other areas. The business departments in these schools are advancing the frontier of knowledge as it pertains to corporate reputation, where their graduates are cited in some of the Corporate Reputation Review's most noteworthy papers. This synergy between academia and corporate reputation research is contributing significantly to the development and evolution of best practices in reputation and brand management. Moreover, the connection between these schools and the corporate world is also responsible for creating leaders who understand and apply these principles in business, further enhancing the reputation of firms. Therefore, the contribution of business schools, especially those from Wisconsin, should not be undermined in the reputable corporate world.
