The Advanced Institute of Management (AIM) has awarded Kate Blackmon one of six new Fellowships on Services as part of a new initiative funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The new AIM Services Fellows will join existing cohorts of AIM Fellows working on productivity, innovation and management practices.
Services are becoming increasingly important to the UK economy, with over 60 per cent of the employed population working in them. The new AIM Fellows will be exploring topics such as innovation in services – the creation and pricing of new service business models, entrepreneurial behaviour in services, and gender and diversity in the sector.
Professor Robin Wensley, Director of AIM comments, “We are delighted to be able to announce the six new AIM Services Fellows. They will join an extremely strong fellowship which is producing some valuable and insightful research. AIM seeks to have a significant impact on policy and practice through its research and it is essential we understand better the challenges facing service business in today’s global economy.”
