Research
The Standard is regularly reviewed by UK Commission for Employment and Skills and research is conducted on the benefits of working with the Investors in People framework and the impact of achieving recognition . This research has indicated that Investors in People has a positive impact on performance .However question marks have been raised about the value and the assessment of the IIP standard. See Higgins and Cohen (2006) who suggest that “The evidence points to the fact that the Investors in People Standard can be described as a quality standard which has questionable quality and which lacks a consistency of standard.”

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
