Research
Historically, the Henley Management College has been very strong in management research and curriculum development. For instance, Meredith Belbin's well known research on team roles was originally conducted at the College upon students attending courses there. In recent years, Henley has been consistently rated among the UK's top business Schools based on research output and performance. Henley's over 150 full-time and associate faculty members include some of the globe's foremost experts spanning a broad range of fields within business and management, from HRM to marketing, strategic management to international business.
Post-merger, the newly formed Henley Business School has been reported to have reduced its dependence on executive education and corporate business, and increased its research emphasis and scope. Income from these executive/corporate programmes, reported to be about £10m a year, is currently only a quarter of the new business school's income, so the significant additional income and investment from the University of Reading are being used to strengthen its academic research activities. Currently, the School attracts PhD candidates and research associates from over 30 countries, and is in fact the largest producer of DBA graduates in Europe.

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?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
