Research

The Management, Employment and Organisation (MEO) Section’s research contributes to Cardiff Business School’s Public value mission.

We seek to improve social and economic conditions by addressing grand challenges through novel, inter-disciplinary research.

We undertake research in three broad areas: Employment Relations, Organisation Studies and Management, the latter with a particular focus on public sector management, health management and public policy.

Research groups, units and centres

Our research is interdisciplinary, building on the different disciplines embodied in our section, but also by developing collaborative relationships and engaging with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

At the same time, our research has a strong disciplinary grounding, and the MEO Section hosts a number of Research Groups and Centres, which are leading in their field of study.
