Abstract
During this session, Professor Arshed will briefly outline some of the research that led to her producing an impact case study for REF2021. This work explored how and when individual stakeholders evaluated and influenced the legitimacy of women’s enterprise policy and, along with further work, resulted in changes in enterprise policy in Scotland. Alongside being appointed as an Impact Assessor for REF 2021 Sub-panel 17: Business and Management Studies, her experience of writing an impact case study has enabled her to better understand the nature of impact and help colleagues understand and produce better impact cases for the future.
