“An A Is An A”: We Have Met the Enemy, and He Is Us!

Abstract

Original article: Aguinis, H., Cummings, C., Ramani, R., and Cummings, T., “An A is an A:” The New Bottom Line for Valuing Academic Research, https://doi.org/10.5465/amp.2017.0193In this exchange we consider the article by Professors Aguinis, Cummings, Ramani, and Cummings (2020) in this issue within the context of a recent special issue of Academy of Management Learning & Education on the Rhythm of Academic Life in June 2019. The bulk of our exchange focuses on Aguinis et al.’s article in this issue of Academy of Management Perspectives, but two of the in-press articles for the AMLE special issue—Harley’s article (2019) and Phillips’s rejoinder (2019) on the Harley article—address the research evaluation concerns examined by Aguinis et al. In addition to comparing the three articles, we add several extensions not mentioned in any of the three articles.
