In the Business of Economic Geography
Project Phase 2 – autumn 2015 (ARCHIVE)
The database compiled in Phase 1 will be used to design and administer a web-based questionnaire survey targeting UK economic geographers who have moved into business and management.This online survey will generate new empirical data on:
- Key motivations for economic geographers making the move (e.g. teaching loads, administrative duties, salary, peer support, disciplinary prestige)
- The consequences of this mobility in terms of subsequent patterns of teaching, research, PhD supervision and disciplinary identification
- Any differential experiences of movers as a function of moving into business compared with management schools
- Patterns of subsequent ‘infill’: what happened to the posts previously occupied by these movers from UK Geography departments
