The School of Management carries out research and education in the fields of business studies and administrative sciences across its seven subject areas: human resource management, international business, strategic management, public law, public management, regional studies, and social and health management.

The school’s research seeks to address the societal, organisational and individual challenges brought about by change, innovation and digital transformation. It focuses on deepening our understanding of the role of organisational management, people leadership and public policy in coping with these drivers both sustainably and responsibly in order to support organisational effectiveness, employee well-being, and citizen welfare.

The school’s research community is organised around four research groups:

Research currently focuses on topics covering servitization, business networks, managerial work, global mobility, leadership and management ethics, wicked problems, deliberative democracy, citizen and customer participation, and regional development and innovation policy.
