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:
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”

“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
