Innovative, interdisciplinary, globally-oriented, and intended for real-world application. RSM research embodies thought-leadership at its best.
RSM and the Erasmus School of Economics bring together their best researchers in the management domain within the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM). Within ERIM, 350 senior researchers and PhD students contribute to the creation of new knowledge in five core research streams, making it one of the largest and most prolific management research faculties in the world. Research is designed to not only improve business performance, but produce results that can be sustained for the long term.
RSM professors regularly receive international recognition for their work and are widely-published in the world’s top academic journals. More than scholarly recognition, 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.
This connection between theory and practice is key to RSM’s approach. Students in all programmes benefit by learning from teaching faculty who are not only at the leading edge of their respective fields, but deeply connected with the needs and day-to-day issues of business.
