Research projects and working with organisations

Mae'r cynnwys hwn ar gael yn Saesneg yn unig.

We work with a range of stakeholders across the public, private and third sectors to develop enduring solutions which inform industry practice, academic research, teaching and learning.

Our relationships

Our relationships with organisations span from the informal and personal, to more formalised funded centres. We have relationships that focus on specific projects and deliverables, and some based on more open-ended enquiry. Some are large consortiums of universities and other organisations, whereas others involve just our team and a single organisation.

Further relationships have become reciprocal, where organisations influence our governance. Some engagement activities are short-term, and others last for many years.

The right solution

We bring an academic perspective to strategic, tactical and operational challenges. Drawing on evidence, expertise and experience we think strategically about complex problems, where a quick fix might not be the right fix. Our diverse disciplinary backgrounds enable us to work outside of traditional silos to identify solutions unique to your organisation.

How we work

We bring an academic perspective to strategic, tactical and operational challenges. Drawing on evidence, expertise and experience we think strategically about complex problems, where a quick fix might not be the right fix. Our diverse disciplinary backgrounds enable us to work outside of traditional silos to identify solutions unique to your organisation.

Consultation

We take the time to understand the parameters of each project by outlining expectations, values and outcomes through a period of initial consultation. This open and transparent way of working ensures that University and collaborator goals are aligned from project inception through to delivery.

Team-building

We build the right team for each project, defining relationships, roles and responsibilities at the outset with clear review points throughout a project’s lifespan.

Interdisciplinarity is a core principle of our work with businesses and other organisations. It enables personnel with different perspectives, expertise and experiences to collaborate and address often complex and competing operational issues.

Confidentiality

We recognise that working with businesses and other organisations can involve the analysis of sensitive information, data and other content. Confidentiality is therefore a primary concern for many of our collaborators.

We employ ethical research processes and implement non-disclosure agreements, where appropriate, to ensure confidentiality does not become a barrier to project success.

Collaborative research

Our relationships with businesses and other organisations are bespoke and innovative because we understand there is no one-size-fits-all approach to contemporary managerial and organisational challenges.

We are always looking at fresh ways of working and welcome new ideas and opportunities. You can also join our Executive Education Business School Community and receive updates on events, programmes and School developments.

Potential mechanisms for conducting research

Research council funded projects/ organisationally funded research projects

Success in securing research council funding is often complemented by business partnerships leading to industry and academic benefits. Research sponsors define their projects with our staff. This may involve buying out a proportion of staff time, and/or by employing a researcher.

Knowledge transfer partnerships

A project is jointly developed between academics and practitioners and an associate is recruited to work on strategic projects to improve competitiveness, productivity and performance.

Live student business projects

Our MBA and specialist master’s students respond to a focused business challenge during the summer period each year.

Doctoral research

Our PhD candidates focus on a long-term complex business challenge as part of their doctoral training and research thesis.

Staff placement and employment

Our staff are employed directly by an organisation on a fixed-term or placement basis to carry out bespoke research.

Research Centres

Our partners make a larger scale investment by sponsoring academic positions, co-locating or form research centres within the School.
