Professor Barbara Kahn of the Wharton School gave a very important speech addressing research productivity during her presidential address at the recent Association for Consumer Research conference in Orlando. She looked at the ways that ACR could help make a difference in our academic lives and conducted a survey of the membership to get a better handle on the kinds of problems we all face in trying to be more productive - and impactful - researchers.
Her observations and conclusions are really interesting (and highly useful in resource-based arguments with university administrators). Have a look.
