Take a deep dive into a changing world, as our Lancaster University Management School experts explain the work they do – often with businesses – to explore the ever-evolving nature of technology.
Journey from the Backrooms of the cyber world to asteroids in outer space, as we investigate everything from the effects of Artificial Intelligence on leadership and our own thoughts, to changes in hybrid working. We even delve into natural disaster response, and how programmes and models developed here in Lancaster can help those affected, and look at hybrid working and how technology can help breed a supportive culture.

Our researchers bring new perspectives to familiar topics. In this issue, we contemplate an Artificial Intelligence future for our roads, discover how comparisons between sustainability fairy tales can lead to better understanding, and discuss how businesses can use cyber security to innovate their operation. Plus, leadership alternatives, the disability insecurity gap, planning a better future for refugees, and much more.
What do we mean when we say ‘sustainability’? In this edition of Fifty Four Degrees, we show how broad the definition can be by investigating issues including modern slavery, sustainable accounting, and the links between religion and green business behaviours. We also look at the world of online witchcraft, explore the scale of problem gambling in the UK, discuss imposter syndrome, and look closely at the cyber challenges facing small businesses.
