The Strategy, International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE) Group develops world-class research, teaching programmes and business collaborations, focused on understanding how small companies and large corporates can create and exploit organisational advantages across boundaries nationally and internationally. 

 

The results of our research have been published in top management journals with a focus on any of our four research themes, including Strategic Management Journal, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Business Venturing and Research Policy, as well as in more general management journals, such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review and Organization Science.

 

The group's academics also hold senior editorial positions in prestigious journals and sit on numerous editorial boards. 

 

Research themes

Our SIBE specialists offer research expertise in five different themes:

• Sustainable strategy and its governance
• International business and management of people, knowledge and technology across borders
• Innovation, collaboration and emerging digital technologies
• Entrepreneurship and social inclusion

 

Research centres

Our Group hosts the Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship, which draws upon expertise from across the School to raise the understanding of entrepreneurship and contribute to both theory and practice.

 

We also work closely with the Centre for Sustainable Business and the Heseltine Institute for Public Policy and Practice.
