Emma Bell has been appointed H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf’s Chaired Professor in Leadership at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). A leading researcher in leadership and organisation studies, Professor Bell will focus on how leadership is performed, perceived, and shaped by societal expectations.

Stockholm School of Economics is proud to congratulate Assistant Professor Diogo Mendes for being awarded for his exceptional contribution to the Corporate Finance course within the MSc in International Business program at SSE.

The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) strengthens its leadership in the intersection of art, business, and innovation with the appointment of Roberto Verganti as the first Josefsson Family Chair in Art and Innovation. The position, made possible by the Josefsson family, will advance research on how art fosters innovation and leadership in a rapidly evolving world.

Italian firms led by female CEOs have more women on average in the top management team than those led by men, according to a new study from the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy. The association weakens if the CEO lacks sufficient decision-making power or if she works for a family-owned company.

Funding is being withdrawn, research grants are withheld, and fundamental academic principles are being betrayed. The damage already done to American universities is likely beyond repair – and Karl Marx was right, writes Lars Strannegård, President of the Stockholm School of Economics.

The Student Association at the Stockholm School of Economics has been named the Regional Winner for Europe in the PRME Global Students Sustainability Awards. The recognition highlights the group’s dedication to integrating sustainability into business education and creating real-world impact.
