Founded in the 1989, the University of Leicester Management Centre is rapidly emerging as one of the UK ’s top management schools with significant investment in top-ranking research staff. Its research aims to contribute to the rethinking of management, business and organization, using a variety of different disciplinary approaches and research methods. The Management Centre has the largest group of critical scholars in accounting, marketing, management and organization studies in the United Kingdom .
Staff at the Management Centre conduct inter-disciplinary research which draws upon core disciplines such as sociology, politics, philosophy and economics. The Centre is interested in studying how the contemporary world has come to be organised as it is, and how it might be re-imagined. This means that the Centre wants to become the major location for scholarly, creative and iconoclastic thought which challenges common assumptions about the means and ends of organising, managing, marketing or accounting across the globe.
With increasing environmental and social concerns being raised about contemporary management, and much of orthodox management thinking in paralysis, the Management Centre’s unique agenda seeks to re-imagine a different kind of management for the present and the future. The aim, as Professor Gibson Burrell states, is quite simple: “to revolutionize management learning”.
