Innovative research for a changing world.

2023-06-unicorn

Businesses play an integral role in our changing and uncertain world. They not only develop as a result of the context they work in but also shape their environment through the way they conduct themselves. Their success often comes down to finding or creating ‘unicorn’ employees and teams who add value through unique sets of qualities that make them extremely rare and valuable, but hard to find. Once found ‘unicorns’ help organisations develop new strategic visions, find new ways of working and drive innovation through their passion.

Our research areas

We're an internationally accredited business school with a strong research focus in the areas of governance, strategic decision-making, policy implementation and management, logistics, diversity, and business systems modelling. Our interdisciplinary research approach is essential for the study of business issues in a changing and uncertain world. It draws together the diverse backgrounds of our academics, many of whom have achieved international recognition for their research in economics, logistics, leadership, public policy, public service management, biodiversity, accounting, finance, data analysis, human resources, work health and safety, and project management.ÌýÌý

Their expertise informs our affiliated Research Groups: the Public Service Research Group (PSRG), with the sub-group the Industrial Relations Research Group (IRRG), the Supply Chain Sustainment Research Group (SCSRG), the Academy of Adaptive Leadership (AAL) and the Korea Research Initiatives (KRI).
