Summary:There is contrast between the surge in the quality of business and management research reported in successive Research Assessment Exercises and Britain's inconsistent contribution to the world's leading business and management journals over the last 40 years. A census of top journals since 1968 shows a relative decline of the English‐speaking peoples and a rise in the contribution from parts of Southeast Asia and northern Europe. Unlike the USA and the euro‐area, where the top researchers are mainly born and research trained in their own country, the UK's leading business and management researchers tend to be non‐locals trained outside the UK.
