The research at IIB emphasizes on the strategy and management of multinational corporations. Its mission includes furthering academic thinking in international competitiveness, business strategy and management through a truly trans-disciplinary approach, as well as assisting the business community in addressing critical issues in international business.
Research and Education programs at IIB concentrate on three partly overlapping areas:
- Competition and Strategy (C&S)
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E)
- International Management (IM)
IIB fulfills its mission through a wide variety of activities. We arrange weekly IB seminars and yearly academic symposia that attract internationally renowned scholars. Furthermore, IIB faculty regularly participate in symposia and conferences around the world. IIB members publish in leading international academic and business journals. Doctoral theses and major research projects are published as books. A number of ongoing research projects are also carried out between IIB and other universities in Europe, North America and Japan.
Our educational mission is fulfilled primarily through graduate programs in International Business and Strategy offered at the Stockholm School of Economics.
