Research in the School of Business and Management
Introduction
The School of Business and Management at Queen Mary was created in 2004 with a clear remit to build a distinctive research strategy in which scholarship of international quality could flourish. This has resulted in a high level of national and international research activity with scholars undertaking innovative research, publishing in leading journals and developing work with high impact. . The results of the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) (December 2008) confirmed Queen Mary’s place in the very top group of research-led universities. The College as a whole was ranked 11th nationally by the Guardian, and 13th out of 32 universities by the Times Higher Education. The School of Business and Management ranked highly, coming in the top third of all UK Business Schools. This was an impressive result, especially considering that it was the first time that the School had been entered into the RAE. This result puts the School’s research alongside older and more established business and management schools. The School continually evolving and growing and offers a distinctive and vibrant research environment. Research in the School is clustered around eight overlapping themes in the form of research centres or research groups. Details of of these are found below:
Centre for Globalisation Research (CGR)
Centre for Equality and Diversity (CRED)
Centre for Ethics and Politics (CfEP)
Centre for Management and Organisational History (CMOH)
Business Eco-systems Research Group (BERG)
Marketing and Communications Group (MARCOMS)
Organizational, Management and Leadership Learning Group (OMLL)
Public Management Group (PSG)
