About the Department
As a department, we deliver outstanding work in the fields of entrepreneurship, strategic management, leadership and family business. Our strengths are drawn from close alignment of research, education and business support in these key academic fields and from the continuous 'real world' feedback received through interaction with the business community. This ensures that our activities are always up to date, focused, and precisely matched to the needs of students, businesses and the wider community. A large number of Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EiRs) regularly mentor and support our students, providing real-life cases to inform learning
We also regularly engage with a wide range of businesses, from small and medium enterprises to the largest multinationals. Our programmes are therefore based on cutting-edge research and deep engagement with management practices.

A university at the heart of the regionOur expertise
Entrepreneurship
Our mission is to research and teach entrepreneurship in a useful way. We know that entrepreneurship is a change maker, but understand it works in different ways. Entrepreneurship as much more than new small businesses, it is the means for solving social and economic problems and is informed by our research.
Strategic Management
The Strategic Management research group is an internationally recognised team of scholars. The group is deliberately pluralist, both methodologically and theoretically, and addresses some of the most fundamental challenges faced by organisations today. Read about our current research.
Leadership
The department is host to the Academy for Gender Equality and Social Justice Research in Organisations, a research group that brings together academics, policy-makers and practitioners concerned with tackling inequality and social injustice in work and society through groundbreaking and impactful research. The research group identifies solutions to key issues across the world, with a range of projects exploring themes including gender and diversity dynamics in entrepreneurship, organisations, family business and the Higher Education sector, focusing on Business and Management Schools.
