Managment Research Center

The Management Research Centre integrates the research activities of Toulouse Business School, a partner in the Doctoral School in Management of the University of Toulouse. The Management Research Centre represents a major concentration of management researchers in the Region, having 62 research-active faculty (53 have doctoral qualifications, of whom 14 have HDR or equivalent so are qualified to supervise doctorates, and 9 are junior faculty pursuing doctorates) plus research assistants and support staff. Currently 11 doctoral students are being supervised by our faculty.
Within the Centre, research is organised in eight research groups, five distinguished by academic discipline, or research theme, and three operating as portals with the industry clusters of the region (aerospace, health and agriculture).
