Faculty and Research

ESADE Business School has a three-fold mission to improve skills and knowledge through training, conduct rigorous research that leads to advances in the various disciplines which make up the field of management, and contribute to the transformation and improvement of organisations to promote greater social welfare. Training, research and transformation are the axes around which the main activities of the Business School turn, and each of these activities are conducted with the aim of contributing toward collective progress. As such, it is fitting that the knowledge produced at ESADE should be shared to stimulate debate and provide direction for improvement.
 

Studying a subject, formulating questions that are raised through analysis, reflecting on these questions and, if appropriate, attempting to answer them, are all elements of what we call ‘research’. Sometimes, the result contributes to social debate by providing data or ideas that others will use to formulate proposals. On other occasions, it involves creating directly applicable knowledge. In both cases, the intellectual activity involved, and the effort that this often requires, contribute to the maturation of knowledge itself and how this knowledge is explained or passed on. This is why research produces better teachers. Here, you will find an overview of the research work conducted in our faculties.
