About the Department

As a department, our strengths are drawn from the close alignment of research, education, and business support and from the continuous 'real world' feedback received through interaction with the business community. Our research is informed by our close and very live connections to entrepreneurs, including our network of Entrepreneurs in Residence at Lancaster University Management School.

Entrepreneurs in Residence

Lancaster University Management School hosts a global network of 80+ entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs mentor our students and breathe life into the theories students learn in classrooms.
