Expertise in institutional theory has advanced international research agendas through: contributions to methodology in institutional logistics; enhancing the field’s understanding of stigma; and applying institutional theory to tackling inequality.
Debates on equality and inclusion have been expanded into new subjects (such as volunteering and bisexuality), and extended to the middle east, Africa, and India.
There is strong collaboration and interdisciplinary research in this area, such as with linguists to produce new insights into boardroom decision-making and research on strategy as practice being taken up by City of Edinburgh Council to develop their 2050 vision.
The School is also a leader in service theory thinking and value in public service management.
