Academics claim international research award

Course Director Dr Nick Beech, Professor Jeff Gold, Tricia Auty and Susan Beech have won an Outstanding Paper Award at the 2021 Emerald Literati Awards. 

Their paper, which focuses on the role human resource professionals can play in positive boardroom discussions, was selected by judges for both its high-quality and the impact it has made within business academia.   

As part of the award, the paper will now be made available for free via Emerald’s website for the next 12 months.  

Now in their 26th year, the awards are among the largest of their kind, with winners selected from across the globe.  

Nick said: “It’s an honour to be recognised for this work by our international academic community and is a testament to the significance and quality of the work we do here at Leeds Business School.
