As part of one of the world's most prestigious social science institutions, we offer a uniquely rigorous, academic approach to management theory.

We champion business innovation by generating original and robust research insights.

We are proud to be part of LSE, an institution that ranks #2 in the world for social sciences and management (QS World University Rankings 2020) and #1 in the UK for research in business and management studies (REF 2014).
