Goal attainment 2000

1. More scientific publications, approaching one per year per researcher in journals applying international scientific standards:- as shown in the table just below, we are getting closer to that goal. A single year is not enough to establish a trend in this area, and future reckonings must determine whether the present level is sustainable. Although there is still room for improvement of output, present figures are encouraging: measured in book and journal articles per professor, the ratio has gone up from 1.0 in 1998-99 to 1.4 in year 2000.

2. A further refining of the department's research profile and intensification of research co-operation, internally and externally:
   - the four categories of research mentioned in the research profile are still neither a fully adequate description of the department's research, nor are they yet organizational realities. But co-operation is developing, and roads to more co-operative and organized research have been discussed, and the debate will continue.
3. The attraction of external research funding at least at the level of 1999:
   - this has not been obtained, and more effort has to be put into that.
4. More research projects that involve partnerships with businesses and other, national and international organizations:
   - two new cooperation agreements were entered into, as well as a successful establishment of a network with business communication professionals
5. Successful implementation of research projects in the area of communication, where IKL has been given a special status at the CBS:
   - at the end of 2000, IKL researchers compiled a list of research publications in communication fields. The list, now on the Department's homepage, is very impressive, and showed a good overall position in the field. Several new projects attracted external funding in 2000, for later use.
6. IKL staff to take up visiting research fellowships or professorships in wellregarded business schools and universities in other countries:
   - not implemented
7. The establishment of one or two PhD schools in cooperation with other CBS departments:
   - IKL is now a member of the Business Economics Research School and has decided to initiate the creation of a Corporate Communication Research School, as a medium-term project to start in 2001.
