Business and Management
Financial Engineering & Risk Management
Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field drawing from finance and economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computational methods. Research in various asset classes including equities, fixed income, credit and mortgage-backed securities, commodity and energy derivatives and algorithmic trading.
Corporate Governance
Research for general principles, board of directors, leadership and succession planning, compensation, audit and risk, shareholders, and proxy advisory. The Key Concept is a collection of roadmaps to understanding the fundamental concepts of corporate governance. Each one examines a specific research focus area based on theory, empirical research, and data.
Corporate Branding
Corporate branding necessitates a different management approach. It requires greater emphasis on factors internal to the organisation, paying greater attention to the role of employees in the brand building process. The Research explores the implications of corporate branding for the management of internal brand resources. Present a model for managing brands through narrowing the gap between a brand’s identity and its reputation and, building on this, identify key factors that affect brand perceptions and brand performance. Find some of the mechanisms that may be used to facilitate greater congruence of brand perceptions within the brand team and communication of a brand’s identity to employees.
Innovation Management
Research for Innovation Culture, Creativity, Idea management, Co-creation, Project management, Complex systems, Leadership, Strategy, Sustainability. Research in Innovation Management analyses a number of different sectors, advanced and emerging technologies, science based industries, professional services (architecture practices, design and engineering consultancies), different fields of sustainability (renewable energy, organic food), and includes research on public services building on long standing expertise and understanding of the governance, accountability and performance of public services, in particular of healthcare organisations.
