In conjunction with relevant institutions and individuals, ESADE's research units are dedicated to the development and dissemination of knowledge germane to the business world, the non-profit sector, the legal professions and the general populace.
The research efforts of these units are organized around thematic nuclei established by ESADE. In this way, each ESADE-recognized institute, center, faculty and research group articulates and coordinates their individual contributions. This method promotes the development of long-term projects wherein individual researchers can engage specific lines of research relevant to an umbrella objective worked for by the whole team.
