Research
Management, like any other profession, has a role to play and a responsibility beyond business success to our society and towards our planet. BSL’s research is dedicated to resolving the key issues in business and management of the 21st century. As with our degree programs, BSL pursues a pragmatic approach focusing on applied research only. Rather than seeking to add to the body of knowledge, we challenge ourselves to apply knowledge across domains or within a new context. In the late eighties, BSL was among the first business school in Europe to introduce a DBA program, recognizing the importance of applied research in the field of business. More recently, recognizing the need to balance relevance with rigor, BSL has adopted a stronger and more focused research strategy supporting BSL’s overall vision as a leading innovator in business education.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
