Research strategy
As a world-class business school embedded in one of the world’s greatest and oldest universities, research is at the very heart of our work at Oxford Saïd.
This is the first-ever research strategy for Saïd Business School. It is based on consultation with members of our research community, the School’s leadership and the School Board.
Our strategy outlines:
- Our research mission, celebrating our existing strengths
- How we will continue to move forward by identifying priority development areas for the future
- The investments we intend to make to ensure that Saïd Business School is one of the best places for academic business research in the world.
Priority development areas
At present, the School considers at least the following areas to be areas of priority development from a research standpoint:
1
Accountability of and trust in business and institutions
2
Emerging technologies, AI, algorithms, data science and machine learning
3
Issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic
4
Sustainable development
5
Societal, business and leadership challenges that arise from macro factors
6
Leadership, operations, and patient and data management in healthcare
As we look towards an increasingly complex future, we strive to work together to solve some of the most important issues facing business and society.
