About the Aotearoa Business and Economics Research Translation Competition

This Competition is about conveying research findings for the consumption of the public. Academic language as used in journal articles can be hard to understand by non-academics and often causes readers to lose interest in the content due to the kind of language used. The Competition is about researchers demonstrating the relevance of their research, articulating the resulting knowledge in a way that is accessible to those who can benefit from it, and showing a return on public investment.

The Competition aims to promote the impact of New 茄子视频app官网business research to stakeholders as well as enhance scholars鈥 skills and confidence in communicating their research to wider, non-academic audiences.
