We encourage intellectual discussions that cut across traditional research areas. We expect and support our faculty to actively engage in high quality research that is publishable in top outlets thereby contributing to our research mission.  Current faculty in the area of Strategy have published in top quality journals such as Academy of Management JournalAcademy of Management Review, Strategic Management JournalJournal of International Business Studies, Management ScienceJournal of ManagementJournal of Management StudiesResearch Policy, Organizational Research Methods, Journal of Business VenturingStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, among others.
