Research at Gustavson
Part of a young, energetic business school that values innovation, integrative approaches and sustainability, our research program fosters a friendly, non-hierarchical atmosphere that is supportive of our close-knit faculty.
Our research asks fundamental questions, ones that have the potential to shift how we think of business and management. With a commitment to multidisciplinary research, we recognize that management problems rarely occur in isolation and bring this collaborative perspective to complex research topics.
