Thought Leadership

With 350 senior researchers and PhD students, RSM is home to one of the largest and most prolific management research faculties in the world. Within the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ranked among Europe’s top 3 institutes by the international media, researchers contribute to the creation of new knowledge in five core streams, while ten Centres of Expertise work directly with organisations to advance in-company innovation.

Widely-published in the world’s top academic journals, RSM faculty members regularly receive international recognition for their work, while their ideas directly solve business and management issues. Faculty members regularly consult for multinational firms, stand on international committees, and teach at other management schools worldwide. 

RSM research embodies thought-leadership at its best: innovative, interdisciplinary, globally-oriented, and relevant. 

In the classroom

This world-class facility not only supplies all our programmes with the latest knowledge, it guarantees innovative teaching methods and teaching faculty who are international authorities in their fields.

The development of creative, critical and original thinking in students is a key element of RSM’s approach, for future thought-leadership in business. Students in all programmes are required to analyse, assess, and critically review the latest academic theory under the guidance of our scholars.
