Description
Summary:According to data from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), collected on their platform Geocapes [1], the fields of Administration, Accounting, and Tourism conferred a total of 3,431 doctoral and 8,799 master’s degrees in academic programmes between 2017 and 2022. [...]this editorial discusses the societal impact of post-graduate programmes, focusing on the field of Business and Management (B&M). The first evaluation of post-graduate programmes carried out by peers, with the work of committees of consultants, took place in 1978, establishing the practice of peer evaluation as a fundamental component of the whole evaluation system (Marques, Veiga, & Borges, 2020). Since its creation, the post-graduate evaluation process has undergone multiple revisions to enhance the evaluation procedures. [...]models for societal impact assessment should incorporate both qualitative and quantitative data suitable for the given context to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of research activities on individuals and communities.
