GRACO
Research Group on Learning, Knowledge and Organization
  • GRACO is the ESADE research group devoted to the study of the following areas: learning, knowledge and management
    • This learning and knowledge research group has emerged due to the emphasis laid today on learning processes within organizations and the centrality of knowledge in its management, creation, application and dissemination aspects. The spaces where organizations, knowledge, research and their efficient management intersect are the defining traits of developed societies.
    • This is a multi-disciplinary group that gives special attention to empirical studies, accentuating a research philosophy that is very closely linked to companies and their problems.
    • Respectful of all philosophies and research methods, GRACO particularly supports qualitative methods and the use of innovative research methodology.
    • This is currently an emergent research group that receives formal support from the Catalan Government
