Research

Research in management education has grown significantly in the past five years and its credibility has increased beyond business schools.

We believe that collaboration is key to drive management education research and we are keen to engage in such projects that are of value to the community and its stakeholders. These might include collaboration on small or big grant projects, research papers, kick-start pilot studies, new book editions or conferences.
