Research Units
CPPE - Centre for Philosophy and Political Economy
What is the relationship between Philosophy and Political Economy today? Ever since October 2003, the CPPE has considered a variety of responses towards this guiding question. These responses have been generated out of a collective and ongoing engagement with areas as diverse as cultural studies, feminism and science and technology studies, psychology and social theory, management and organisation studies, philosophy and political economy, and many other fields besides.
EPRU - Efficiency and Productivity Research Unit
The Efficiency and Productivity Research Unit (EPRU) was formerly known as the Efficiency and Productivity Unit (EPU). The Unit contributes to the fulfilment of the School of Management's wider vision by striving to conduct research of the highest international standard in the field of performance measurement.
QDT - Quantum Decision Theory
The aim of QDT is to investigate how quantum mechanical principles can find applications in macroscopic environments. We are particularly interested in exploring and studying how such principles can add to our understanding of processes occurring in psychology, decision-making and other areas of the social and behavioural sciences.
UMBO - Unit for Membership Based Organisations
The Unit is a research based focal point in the School of Management dealing with problems of management and organisational development within the co-operative and mutual and social economy sectors. The Unit has a special focus on Co-operative Management and Organisational Development.
