Research in the Department of Management
Our research informs the teaching and research supervision conducted by the Department as well as directly benefiting the economy and society via the commitment of our faculty to engaged and impactful scholarship.
We are organised into four subject groups:
- Organization, Work and Employment
- Procurement and Operations Management
- Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Innovation
- Business Economics and Policy
Each of which contributes teaching and learning outcomes and research insights to enhance understanding of key domains within the broader sphere of management.
The Department plays a major part in the University of Birmingham’s 2030 Strategic Framework for world-class research and outstanding global education. In line with the 2030 Framework, our Department prioritises research and education influenced by the university’s history as a civic university founded on social responsibility and equality of opportunity for all, and its more recent emergence as a global university.
Our department actively contributes to the main pillars of university activity in the 2030 Framework, notably Research that Matters (research with outcomes that are important to other people, organisations, and academic fields); Education for Sustainable Futures (welcoming students from all backgrounds and nationalities to study in a comprehensive range of disciplines); Engagement and Impact (responding and shaping dramatic changes in the way people work, learn, and live); and Sustainability (play a significant role in tackling global sustainability challenges facing society and the environment, as expressed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)) – notably gender equality, decent work, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, quality education.
