Innovation requires risk and tenacity
The international prestige that ESADE has achieved in the world of research is due to its willingness to address difficult and challenging topics. At ESADE, we take great pride in researching fields that are core to the classical disciplines of managerial, social and legal sciences. But more importantly, we also encourage our researchers to explore topics that are on the frontiers of their disciplines; to partake in dialogues and debates that define the boundaries of knowledge in their respective fields; to engage in empirical methods, domains and topics that are experimental and innovative; in simple terms, to widen the scope and definition of what one normally does at an academic institution of business and law.

- Creativity & Design Thinking
