Specifically, I need your help to have the wackiest impact case study in the history of the business school.
For those of you who aren’t in British academia: an impact case study is a portfolio of items which demonstrate that some part of a professor’s research has had a significant impact on some part of wider society.

Buy it! Read it! Use it in your Introduction to Management courses! But more importantly, tell me, and tell the world! Review it! Let me know which courses and where!
If you’re a reviewer for a blog or a podcast or a magazine, DM me about review copies! I’m @drfionamoore on all major social media.

…But if NASA won’t take you there, try Elon Musk.
If Elon Musk won’t take you, the Russian space programme has been quietly doing the job for decades, so try them.
