Controversy
In 2012, the journal published a study that ranked the Henry W. Bloch School of Management (University of Missouri–Kansas City) number 1 in the world for research in innovation management.[3][4] However, the methodology of the study and the independence of its authors were questioned.[5][6] In March 2015, the journal published an "expression of concern" regarding the study. However, four independent scholars later reviewed the article and found its methodology to be acceptable.[7]
