Is the citations number enough to guarantee the successfull of research in Business?
You can't be sure about practical implications of your research, nor in business or any other field. Impact factor (citations number) isn't good indicator for practical implications (practical impact). It's just one type of guarantee that people are reading your work, but what are they going to do with it - it's quite different question.
Any feedback received from readers will help you in that regard. You can solicit feedback by adding a sentence toward the end of your article requesting for feedback and your email contact. The other method is to search periodically (after your article is published) for any citations of your work or mention of an application.
We publish research for business and sometimes broadcast it to the industry if it's not proprietary. One useful technique for us to track how widely the work is being read in industry is through using different Bitly links for each organisation we invite to read the work. It's not perfect as measure but gives you a proxy for how how much and how frequently the information is being read or shared within an organisation or sector. Hope that helps.
The best way is to start the cooperation straight with business and make your work exactly to solve them problems.
