Research Clusters
Research Clusters
The purpose of establishing research clusters is to promote collaboration among researchers in the school. Research clusters are interdisciplinary groups of researchers working together in solving current and future problems. Discipline boundaries are blurred and traditional research collides in finding ways of understanding our world and its problems. The establishment of the clusters is to increase the research output, being publications, policy papers, and postgraduate students. A total of three research clusters in the School of Business are proposed. Each cluster includes interdisciplinary approaches and coordinates research activities from different disciplines.

Digital Transformation
Digital information is a key aspect of 4IR, and can be achieved through research and education. This cluster focuses on bringing technology to the society, for the greater good. Issues from data analytics to innovation are covered.
Strategic Innovation
Strategy is vital in achieving set goals. This cluster looks at redesigning strategies to better generate value for organizations, in creating a competitive advantage. Timely topics ranging from climate change to supply chain are of focus.
