LUMS is a leading UK management school. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, LUMS was ranked first in the UK for research power and joint-first for our research environment. We are one of a select group of management schools accredited by all three international business school accreditation bodies: AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. As an influential management school, we recognise that we have a responsibility to help make the world a better place through our research, and to transform the lives of our students. Join us as we fulfil our responsibility to deliver research, teaching and engagement that makes a positive impact on society. Become part of a community using academic excellence to respond to societal needs, find solutions to research grand challenges, and help develop the responsible managers of the future.

ENST offers an excellent research environment with a high level of collegiality, excellent industry links, and a strong seminar series. In the Department, we investigate the initiation, management, and effects of transformation for organisations and places. The strategy group (SG) in ENST focuses on behavioural aspects of strategy and strategic management, such as the varieties of strategies needed at different levels of organisations and the distinctive characteristics inherent in them (e.g. economic, social, ethical, and practical concerns) that shape both the development and implementation of strategies. The behavioural approach to strategy within the SG is apparent in the diversity of research areas, including but not limited to strategy process and organisational change, strategy implementation and capability development, corporate social responsibility, cognitive and psychological underpinnings of strategising, strategic leadership and decision-making, corporate strategy and transformation, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business model innovation, global strategic management and internationalisation, open strategy and innovation, digital strategy and digital transformation, etc. The SG further acknowledges other approaches to strategy and embraces a high level of diversity.

Our research in ENST is internationally recognised, and members of the Department (including doctoral researchers) publish in leading journals such as _Strategic Management Journal_, _Journal of Management Studies, Journal of World Business, Organization Science_, _Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal_, _British Journal of Management_, _Long Range Planning_, and _Strategic Organization_, just to name a few. Members of the Department are active contributors to the international academic community, holding key leadership positions in leading academic organisations and associate editor and editorial board positions in leading journals.
