Academic Area
IE Business School aims to be a center of international excellence for research in entrepreneurship. We pursue this objective in strict collaboration with the IE Foundation and with the recently created IE University. Rigorous and innovative research is an essential ingredient for the advancement of our knowledge and understanding of companies’ activities and management. Only by constantly staying at the frontier of this knowledge can an institution of higher learning, such IE Business School, offer new perspectives on management to all of its stakeholders. At the time of writing, the world economy is experiencing a crisis of unprecedented magnitude. Unprecedented situations require managers to be able to devise new strategies and new approaches that in time can transform these challenges into growth opportunities. Our research strives to provide managers with the necessary tools to accomplish such a task.
