Dear MED Colleagues,
There are numerous universities around the world producing high-quality management research and many of these universities are absent from the most popular rankings due to several reasons.
To address this challenge, we are making a tool available for free that allows for an assessment of management research productivity of business schools worldwide. Clearly, there is no single research productivity tool that will be perfect (including ours). Nevertheless, the newly developed "Global Research Performance" (GRP) system affords visibility to 3,352 institutions with faculty who publish in 149 high-impact business and management journals. The GRP system is described in the following article to be published in Journal of World Business and you can download it for free (Excel format) from http://hermanaguinis.com/pubs.html: or https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/research/spotlight-research/global-research-performance-database-2017

Abstract
Attracting talent with international capabilities is critical for the internationalization of business schools and other knowledge-intensive service-industry organizations. However, limited coverage beyond the top cohort of business schools in existing research-based rankings does not allow the majority of institutions to use these rankings as global signaling systems of their research performance. This is particularly detrimental to the development of younger research fields, such as International Business (IB). Our Global Research Performance (GRP) system affords visibility to 1,029 institutions that publish in seven prominent IB journals and to a broader cohort of 3,352 institutions that publish in 149 high-impact business and management journals. GRP empowers IB and other scholars to demonstrate their contribution to their organizations' legitimacy and promotes a data-driven approach to international talent recruitment.
We hope you will find the GRP system useful and we look forward to ongoing conversations about the meaning and measurement of scholarly impact.
All the best,
Olga, Peter and Herman
