During this period, the Association developed its role as a strong national and international advocate of management education, in particular demonstrating the positive contribution of foreign students in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Simon was central to CABS advocacy efforts, for example helping to highlight the significant economic and social contribution to UK regions made by business schools, summarised in the report: <a href=\"https:\/\/charteredabs.org\/publications\/business-schools-delivering-value-local-regional-economies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business schools: delivering value to local and regional economies<\/a>.

During his time as Chair, Simon was also central to the development of a partnership with the British Academy of Management (BAM) to evidence the real-world value of research conducted in business schools and secure more funding for business and management research in the UK.
