The Management School has a research intensive culture, believing that a cutting edge and up to date research base will in its turn feed in to the teaching programmes.
Research is organised according to the five core subject groups.
The School has a large and research active Finance and Accountancy group. There are strong links with the well established Centre for Quantitative Finance, directed by Professor Nicos Christofides, which has a very considerable PhD programme and strong links with firms in the City. Applications include the use of economic techniques to analyse the football market alongside the building and testing of economic models. The Business Policy group demonstrates interests such as entrepreneurship, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions and the study of factors which influence firm performance. A lot of the marketing research has taken place within the services sector, with the development of new models for increasing customer value.
