Dr. Kalle Lyytinen, Distinguished University Professor and Iris S. Wolstein Professor of Management Design, and Dr. Scott Shane, A. Malachi Mixon III Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies and Professor of Economics, were highlighted for their outstanding contributions to academia.

Research.com utilizes a detailed analysis of 166,880 scientists determined from a variety of bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of Business and Management, more than 8531 researchers were examined.  

The acceptance requirements for scientists to be considered for the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index, ratio of the publications made within the specific field of study in addition to the awards and achievements of the researchers. The D-index threshold for listing best scholars is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of scholars projected for each discipline whilst ensuring that the top 1% of best scholars are incorporated into the ranking. 

“It is quite the honor and amazing to have not just one, but two Weatherhead professors recognized in this distinguished ranking,” said co-dean Andrew Medvedev. “Congratulations to both Kalle and Scott.”
