Explore Resources for
Academics & Researchers

Christian academics and researchers are uniquely positioned to add value to the BAM movement by driving research into critical business as mission issues and being a frontline catalyst for student engagement. Scholarship and education are engines for business as mission, helping to equip the next generation and ensuring that vital issues for BAM practitioners are undergirded by robust research.

Whether you are an academic looking to inspire your students for BAM, an educator or trainer developing curriculum, or a researcher connecting your study with real BAM practice, we hope these resources will help guide you.
