Introduction

Research is one of the primary activities of a major business school.

Jonathan WINTERTON Director of Research

A Business School must not only enable students to perform effectively in the business world of today, it must also prepare them for the changes of tomorrow. They must be able to work with modern methods and techniques and constantly adapt to innovations throughout their career.
Toulouse Business School has been consistently improving its programs and pedagogy as well as its research.

Various motives underlie Toulouse Business School's targeting of particular research domains:

- To develop expertise in a sectoral or functional niche: Aeronautics
- To build on existing competitive advantage based on the grouping of skills in a program or discipline (Marketing e-business, Finance, Human Resources)
- To stake out a position in a promising domain: Entrepreneurship.

Toulouse Business School faculty are actively involved in research, publishing papers in academic journals. They have had some success in achieving publication in highly-rated journals (British Journal of Industrial Relations, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of Finance, Economic Theory, Human Relations, International Journal of Human Resource Management, Journal of Air Transportation, Journal of Monetary Economics, The Review of Financial Studies, Transportation Research, Logistics and Transportation Review).
