Center for Strategy and Competitiveness
The Center for Strategy and Competitiveness (CSC) focuses on five research tracks: Strategy, International Business, Knowledge in Networks, Clusters and Competitiveness, and Policy.
CSC works in a trans-disciplinary tradition involving theories from Strategy, Management, International Business, Economic Geography, Economic Sociology and Economic History. Our research on strategies and competitiveness are linked to clusters, networks and the broader microeconomic business environment.
CSC is the coordinator for the
European Cluster Observatory and the
Europe INNOVA Cluster Mapping project, funded by DG Enterprise and Industry of the European Commission. CSC is also a Partner Institute of the Global Competitiveness Network of the World Economic Forum, purveyor of information on Sweden for the
Global Competitiveness Report, published annually by the World Economic Forum in Geneva.
CSC is an affiliate institute to the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness (ISC), led by Professor Michael Porter at HBS.
Thanks to collaboration with the
Bisnode Group, one of Europe’s leading providers of digital business information, CSC is able to use a detailed database to produce innovative and groundbreaking interdisciplinary research on Strategy and Economic Geography.
