The charity was set up to advance the education of the general public but particularly the education of young business and management researchers, in the complex development and operation of publishing research into the public domain via top-tier journals produced by the leading publishers. To advance this general objective particular attention and activities have been devoted to enhancing and extending the training and education of young and early career researchers wherever they may live and work, regardless of their gender, faith, income, or status. The publication of high-level leading-edge business and management research contributes to the more efficient operation and productive management of all kinds of organisations (whether for-profit or not-for profit, public or private) which in turn generates employment and GDP growth. The impact of business and management research is incalculable but known without question to have positive societal benefits. The trustees further the charity’s purpose for the public benefit by raising public awareness through periodically setting up and running workshops, contributing to the work of COPE (The Committee on Publication Ethics) and communicating the value to society of business and management research however obscure or distant this may seem at first glance. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: The charity is not involved with grant making activity or engaged in investments.
