Our vision is to create a prestigious and internationally recognised community where we can inspire, recognise and support researchers who contribute to practice by creating new theoretical frameworks. The Management and Business Academy supports the advancement of theory and practice in Organisational Studies and the Social Sciences. We welcome and encourage interdisciplinary researchers, scientists and research students from universities all around world to present their current research activities, and hence to foster research relations between universities and industry. This institute takes a lead in facilitating international collaboration, providing an independent and authoritative source of advice, and contributing to academic debate and research.
