Management

The Management Group has an established local, national and increasingly international reputation for the quality of its research. The Group was awarded a 3A in the Research Assessment Exercise undertaken in 2001. Demonstrating the breadth of research and scholarship in the Group, virtually all permanent staff members were included in the Exercise.

Research Activity

Members of the Management group are active in research across a wide range of management areas. These include research into SMEs and entrepreneurship, work and family life, health management, organisational change, and employment relations. The Centre for Entrepreneurship is managed by group members to promote research in topics of entrepreneurship and leadership with findings disseminated to academic, policy and practitioner audiences.

Management Group Publications

Members publish widely in a range of prestigious journals covering management and cognate areas. Recent publications have appeared in British Journal of Industrial Relations; Work, Employment & Society etc. Group members serve on numerous editorial boards. Members regularly publish books of interest both to policymakers and to practicing managers.

Postgraduate Research

Research degrees in management to Mphil and PhD levels are available through full-time or part-time study. There is a lively cohort of research students in the Management group, contributing substantially to the research and academic community of the Business School.
