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.

Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work (SHAW)
SHAW is a three year study in which Business School academics will work with employers, employees, professional bodies, and other key stakeholders, to deepen understanding of how work and health are intertwined in older workers' everyday lives. The aim of the study is to design innovative workplace interventions to support the health and wellbeing of older workers (aged 50+).
Wendy Loretto, Belinda Steffan and Jakov Jandric undertake research that addresses age discrimination and creating age-inclusive work environments.
