Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the universities and 
research scholars who have had the greatest impact on the field of 
management during the past quarter century and the factors that influence 
their impact. Using bibliometric techniques, the authors examined 30 
management journals to identify the 100 most-cited universities and 150 
most-cited authors from 1981 to 2004. The analysis included more than 
1,600 universities and 25,000 management scholars across five individual 
time periods. The findings showed that (a) a relatively small proportion 
of universities and scholars accounted for the majority of the citations 
in the field; (b) total publications accounted for the majority of the 
variance in university citations; (c) university size, the number of PhDs 
awarded, research expenditures, and endowment assets had the biggest 
impact on university publications; and (d) total publications, years in 
the field, graduate school reputation, and editorial board memberships had 
the biggest effect on a scholar's citations.
